I discern from the member for Grayndler's questions that he was inquiring as to the government's intentions with respect to taxing land. I can assure the honourable member that the government has no intention—no plans whatsoever—to impose taxes on land of the kind that he describes, and I would doubt very much whether there was any constitutional ability to do so in any event.

The member for Grayndler will resume his seat. The Prime Minister is entitled to add to an answer.
