Mr. Speaker, could you please get those clowns under control?
The minister could have announced $1.5 billion, at no cost to taxpayers, had he not scrapped the tax on multinational Internet companies. It would have been paid for by multinationals, which do not pay taxes in Canada. Now, Quebeckers and Canadians are on the hook for that $500 million.
Am I supposed to congratulate the minister for that?
