Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask my colleague a question, particularly since he is a members of those committees.
Ordinary Canadians who work hard and pay their taxes find it unacceptable that the government is introducing bills that merely fiddle with minor details. Will the government review the tax system? The NDP has asked it to do so many times.
The government is encouraging cynicism among Canadians by failing to make major changes, such as establishing a public registry of those who benefit from the tax exemptions given to the wealthiest Canadians and big business. When people hear that a company did not pay taxes one year or that it was taxed at only 1% when they were taxed at 33% or 34%, it makes them very angry.
I am sorry, but I must remind the House that a Liberal prime minister registered his Great Lakes ships in Panama.
Would my colleague care to comment on that?
