On the recordApril 27, 2026
Mr. Speaker, this bill comes down to fairness and enforcement. When people cheat the tax system and get away with it, honest taxpayers are the ones who pay the price. If we expect whistleblowers to help close the gap, we need to protect them, treat them fairly, and ensure that the system works. This is a practical, bipartisan step to strengthening enforcement and restoring confidence in the system. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill.
