There are many more questions than answers. This Parliament has already given its view on the CCCTB to the effect that it goes too far and is not necessary. That is the view of the great majority of Members of this Parliament but Mr. Moscovici is here on a charm offensive to sell the CCCTB. His scouts who were here recently, however, gave the game away to this committee when they said it would change our corporate system in a very fundamental way. We would have to adopt a single rate of corporate tax, albeit one that could be compatible with our 12.5% rate. Is that the case?
