Mr. Speaker, I find it interesting. We have the opportunity, with slots for private members' bills, to put forward a bill or a motion. The member has chosen to put forward a motion, not a bill, and the motion is asking the government to consider amending the Income Tax Act.
I just want to ask the member, if he has specific recommendations with respect to a program, why he did not just put forward legislation to make the change he wants. Does he think it is maybe a bit lacking in ambition to put forward a motion to ask the government to consider doing something, when he has the power, as a member of Parliament, to actually put forward legislation to do that thing he is asking the government to consider?
