Currently, with two-thirds of Canadi ans in the top 0.01 per cent using private corporations as tax avoidance strategies, the system is not fair. Tax credits and loopholes are taking an increasingly larger bite out of govern ment revenue. So while we are all paying to provide these preferential tax treatments, the richest among us benef t most from them. It is time to restore tax fairness for Canadians at all income levels. It is important that we take your feed back into account when making changes to our tax system. This is why I invited the Minister of Fi nance to Oakville to address your ques tions. I appreciate all of the feedback we have received and I assure you that we are listening to your concerns. It is essential that we move forward John Oliver Oakville MP with effective tax reform to level the playing held for all Canadians.
