finance minister Edgar Bensons controversial White Paper that he favored several amendments to suggested tax reforms before he could fully support it He defended governments intentions with the White Paper pointing out that the Trudeau government could easily have implemented the proposals without consulting the people but preferred to do it the democratic way He predicted that good legislation would emerge from the welter of controversy and suggested amendments which have been proposed Mr Whiting admitted he had received more mail over the White Paper on Tax Reform than on any issue since he has been elected to represent in the Commons However he urged his constituents to continue writing him with their questions and he would attempt to get the answers and reply Bulk of the two and a
