Deferred Recorded Divisions

Business of Supply

Pursuant to Order made Thursday, May 10, 2007, the House proceeded to the taking of the deferred recorded division on the motion of Mr. Dion (Saint-Laurent—Cartierville), seconded by Mr. McCallum (Markham—Unionville), — That, in the opinion of the House, the government's mistaken policies with respect to interest non-deductibility and income trusts are making it increasingly difficult for Canadian businesses to succeed internationally, while making Canadian businesses increasingly vulnerable to foreign takeovers, thus putting Canadian jobs, head offices and investment at risk and contributing to a hollowing out of Canadian enterprise;

and this House calls upon the Prime Minister to instruct his Minister of Finance to resolve these dangers by withdrawing his interest non-deductibility proposal and entering into meaningful public consultations on appropriate measures to combat tax abuses, and by withdrawing his proposal to tax income trusts and replacing it with the Liberal alternative as summarized in the 14th Report of the Standing Committee on Finance, presented on February 28, 2007.

The question was put on the motion and it was negatived on the following division:
