Mr. Chair, as I said, combatting tax fraud in Canada and abroad is a priority for our government. In fact, we see that budget 2021 includes numerous investments and also policy proposals that have been very well received and are based on the hard work done by CRA in this matter.
I do hope, Mr. Chair, that my colleague will vote in favour of our budget so we are able to move forward and serve Canadians well.

I have to point out, Mr. Chair, that anything related to tax regulation is the responsibility of the Department of Finance, so it may be better to direct this question to the officials there.

I could see that Mr. Kershaw was nodding the same way I was.
I shouldn't speak for Mr. Kershaw, but I agree with what Mr. Tremblay said, which is that I thought this tax was an interesting little move. It was a little thing, just a tinkering. I think it's maybe a bit of a red herring.
I don't think it's going to generate much. Even the government itself said it wouldn't generate that much money over five years—$700 million or something. That's not a lot, and really, I've seen those moves. The government of New Zealand did that, for example. Singapore has a similar thing in place. It's not that effective for curbing the über-commodification or financialization of housing.
As I said in my comments, there are other threats, and they're domestic threats. It's the pension funds and the real estate investment trusts and the big asset management firms that are really putting pressure on renter households. I thought it was interesting, though, because it shows that the government is willing to look at some fiscal policy. It's a beginning of looking at fiscal policy and its implications for the housing prices.

To learn from B.C., one of the things that the B.C. government does, to contextualize our speculation of vacancy tax here, is to point out that it applies to well under 1% of homes in the province. It is a tool and it should be used, but let's be clear that it's not a particularly large signal to the housing market, as we have a much broader problem of home prices leaving earnings behind.

From my lens, Generation Squeeze was a client of ours. We were playing a content neutral role in facilitating. That's the role we played successfully for two sessions.
I can't really speak to Generation Squeeze's specific policies. I'm not an employee of theirs. I think that's a question for them.

In this particular moment, you and I are talking about the possibility of reducing taxes on earnings and trying to find revenue elsewhere. The focus of the lab is much broader than that. That's why we're looking at things related to monetary policy, lending policy, a broad category of tax policies, including Brad's observation about whether we could exempt the first $100,000 or so of earnings for people as a way to try to support a younger demographic. It's a broad range of things.

Well, we already do that in this country. For sure we already tax property.
I would suggest that it would make more sense to us to shift to taxing high-value properties more so we cut taxes to earnings for low- and middle-income earners.

It's a valuable tool. It's one minor tool in the tool box. Will it be sufficient? No. Do we need to go considerably further to address some of the broader root causes? Absolutely yes.

There are a myriad of barriers. I think they're some of the most important barriers this country has to deal with.
One of the fundamental changes that I believe would really address our economic well-being is a proper land title system, so that we can trade among ourselves. We have created about $170 billion worth of a credit gap.
The other thing that could be done is getting the federal and provincial governments to share the tax revenues they collect on reserve lands right now. According to our statistics, through real property tax, first nations—about 110 across the country—are collecting $110 million. The federal and provincial governments, for the same lands, are collecting $700 million. That imbalance should be fixed.
