Finance committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I take a bit of issue with Mr. Julian's characterizing what's happening here as a filibuster. I think it's a spirited debate. A filibuster carries certain connotations. I don't doubt the sincerity of Mr. Julian, as he is a sincere person. I

We have seen President Joe Biden take leadership in that regard and we know, as the building trades and unionized workers tell us, that the clean energy industry and imports from Canada of clean energy will quadruple over the next nine years

Information & Ethics committee   was given pretty much an precedented gift in being made ambassador to the United States, which I think we'd agree is our most important trading partner. Mr. MacNaughton came back from his work representing us and began to open doors into the inner workings of the Liberal government

Income Tax Act   Caron brought forward to Parliament which we are now debating to take to committee. These extremely important things must be put into place. I am a long-time member of the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce and the Burnaby Board of Trade. Because of that long-time involvement

I'm wondering if the Department of Finance has done projections or an evaluation of what amounts would

Finance committee   is that the web giants are not paying the corporate income tax. They are tax-free competition, undermining many of our Canadian businesses.

Finance committee  Thank you very much. I have to move on to Mr. Stratton. I'm a long-time member of the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce and a proud member of the Burnaby Board of Trade. What small business people raise consistently is that web giants and companies outside Canada

Finance committee   that he has taken issue with particular decisions made by the government in the past, which he's quite free to do. I noticed, though, and I think it's important to say back to Mr. Lake that it is interesting—I'll use a neutral word—that Mr. Lake failed to mention the record

Finance committee   find strange considering that this was in the motion from the committee. It's the regular practice when documents are sent to the committee as well, though clearly this doesn't fit the partisan narrative of the majority opposition. Mr. Poilievre, Mr. Julian and others have concerns

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, at the Global Forum just a few minutes ago, the finance minister said there is no free lunch during the pandemic. I disagree. Banks have made over $15 billion in profits so far, billionaires have amassed more than $37 billion in wealth and web giants like Amazon
