Replying to William Stevenson (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, I appreciated my colleague’s remarks when she said how good this measure is. Earlier today, the finance minister said that when they took it off for a while, they saw immediate results and it was benefiting the economy. Can you tell me why they would not want to have long-lasting results and eliminate this issue altogether going forward?”
