Mr. Speaker, I want to commend Thomas Gerbet, the Radio-Canada journalist who made the situation public because the mayor of Laval had already spoken to the revenue minister who did nothing.
The Minister of National Revenue should have followed the Government of Quebec's example. In 2016, a Quebec finance minister said, “For our government, this is a matter of fairness to the people of Laval who were the primary victims in this case”.
Has the Minister of Finance consulted the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Industry, who made the decision in 2016 without being prompted by a Radio-Canada news story?
