Canada–Madagascar Tax Convention Implementation Act, 2018  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech, though his remarks were a little unsettling at times.

Canada–Madagascar Tax Convention Implementation Act, 2018  Mr. Speaker, I must admit that I had the same reaction as my colleague. For once, I agree with the member for Winnipeg North.
