Pursuant to notice of May 2, 2019, moved:

That, in the opinion of the Senate, Bill S-243, An Act to amend the Canada Revenue Agency Act (reporting on unpaid income tax), is a critical piece of legislation to fight overseas tax evasion and was duly passed by the Senate and has been in possession of Members of the House of Commons for many months, and the bill should be passed into law at the earliest opportunity; and

That a message be sent to the House of Commons to acquaint that house accordingly.

He said: Colleagues, the House of Commons, as we all know, was kind enough to send us a message with some suggestions a few weeks ago and in that spirit of cooperation using the same wording they used, with the change only being the bill under consideration, that I move the motion in my name.
