Madam Speaker, the government announced in the budget that it was eliminating the tax on web giants. That could well be included in the budget implementation bill. This tax was supposed to make up for the fact that these web giants pay no income tax. It was announced two years ago. Earlier this summer, the Prime Minister announced that he was scrapping the tax in order to secure a trade agreement that would get the U.S. President to lift the tariffs. The agreement did not materialize, however, yet that is still in the budget.
Does my hon. colleague believe, as I do, that this tax should be reinstated to restore a little fairness between our SMEs, businesses that are active here, and the web giants?
