Multilateral Instrument in Respect of Tax Conventions Act  Mr. Speaker, I am sure if the member of Parliament for Oshawa could say what he really wants, he would probably want to direct that question to the member for Calgary Rocky Ridge because he is that capable of a member. I would simply say results, results, results. Let us bear in

Multilateral Instrument in Respect of Tax Conventions Act  Mr. Speaker, I would say more generally that this is a multilateral instrument and that this is actually good for developed countries, particularly the OECD countries, which do have a problem of, basically, jurisdiction shopping for the best tax-related policies. Again, there is

Multilateral Instrument in Respect of Tax Conventions Act  Mr. Speaker, I would say that if the member has information about companies that are doing that, she should deliver that to the CRA personally. It is simply just saying that tax evasion happens. Yes, it does probably in many cases happen, but without specifics, it is very difficu

Multilateral Instrument in Respect of Tax Conventions Act  Mr. Speaker, it is always an honour to stand on behalf of the citizens of Central Okanagan—Similkameen—Nicola. I will be sharing my time with the very capable member for Calgary Rocky Ridge, who in addition to his duties as member of Parliament, also stands as the shadow minister

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are targeting Canadian small businesses yet again. For what reason? It is for being small. They are refusing to allow firms with under 200 employees to apply for tariff relief. This means that small businesses are being forced to either eat those costs o

Multilateral Instrument in Respect of Tax Conventions Act  Mr. Speaker, let me first publicly congratulate the member opposite for her appointment to parliamentary secretary. That is a big achievement in this place. I would like to go right to the subject of base erosion and profit sharing. The hon. Jim Flaherty put this in budget 2014,

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, there is outrage from the family, outrage from veterans and outrage from Canadians in regard to this specific case. Now the department has changed the policy, but the minister has shown less than to dignify us with a proper response. The member wants to talk about

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would certainly want to hear the member of Parliament for Selkirk—Interlake—Eastman answer the member for Saanich—Gulf Islands, but she will have to settle for another member from B.C. I go back to when we see a policy and a specific case where it is fundamentally

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member of Parliament for Selkirk—Interlake—Eastman for his continuing support for veterans, both in his riding and across the country. I have some very serious concerns about how this particular debate has been unfolding. Let us start with

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I want this member to maybe take a moment and be mindful that it was actually the Paul Martin Liberal government that introduced the new veterans charter. The minister of the day had to present it to this place and be accountable for it. The Conservative Party, under

National Defence Act  Mr. Speaker, from my review of the legislation that we are debating today, there is no statutory review within five years. I do think that anytime we make major adjustments to a system, there should be a proper review. Does the hon. member agree with that assessment?

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise on behalf of constituents who have raised concerns. This Prime Minister has often talked about his Liberal Party being the party of the charter. In the petition I am presenting here, the petitioners would disagree with that, simply because they

Firearms Act  Mr. Speaker, one cannot take simple things and then equate it to a larger whole. I think the member has misconstrued the actual provisions in Bill C-42 in the previous Parliament. The Minister of Public Safety, at the advice of his technical firearms committee, could bring a re

Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  With regard to recent tax changes by the United States of America that impose retroactive taxes on Canadian dual-citizens who own Canadian corporations with retained earnings: (a) will the amount withdrawn by such individuals for the purpose of paying the new tax imposed by the U

Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act  moved for leave to introduce Bill C-410, An Act to amend the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (property of bankrupt — exclusion). Mr. Speaker, today I have the honour of tabling a bill that I believe will provide necessary clarity and reassurance for the hard-earned savings of Cana
