Madam Speaker, the luxury tax in Bill C-19 misses the mark. Rather than targeting wealthy people who are buying private jets, it taxes Quebec's aerospace industry. My Liberal colleague knows this. Two weeks ago she promised “to ensure that this does not hurt our manufacturers”, but since then, her government has voted against all of our amendments that would fix the problem.
Taxing the rich is fine, but taxing the flagship of the Quebec economy instead is out of the question.
When will the Liberal members from Quebec get to work and protect our aerospace sector?
