Madam Chair, the wage subsidy bill this past spring did not list political parties.
A number of parties, including the Liberal Party, chose to give it a shot, and the Canada Revenue Agency chose to pay. However, the wage subsidy is meant to help businesses offset the loss in revenue as a result of the crisis. It is not meant to line the pockets of a political party that has raised nearly $9 million so far this year.
Does the government think that the taxes and collective debt of Quebeckers and Canadians should be funding millionaire political parties like the Liberal Party?
