Madam Speaker, I would have liked to hear my colleague say whether he does or does not support the objective of the motion moved by the NDP. The fundamental question being asked is the following: Are we prepared, as a state and as a government, to do more to secure the revenue we need from big corporations who are getting rich at our expense? That is the principle of the motion. I find that the government boasts about its results and that my colleague is exaggerating. When he says that Canada is doing a lot to crack down on tax havens, he believes it. In reality, the federal government is quite complacent. In effect, it has been giving the Canada Revenue Agency more and more money to tackle the problem with little to show for it. The CRA has only gone after a few million dollars. Is the government prepared to do what the motion is calling for in order to ensure tax fairness?

Madam Speaker, I am going to say three things: I am a full-fledged adult, I have been here long enough, and I am not gullible. While listening to my colleague, I asked myself who exactly was speaking. Was it the minority Liberal government or the new majority government formed by the Liberal Party and the New Democratic Party? This is unbelievable. How can they repudiate everything a party should and could be, namely the NDP? How can they, through a motion, deny fundamental and democratic rights and then blame the opposition for it? Please explain it to us, Madam Speaker.
