Continuing with the question of the value of income trusts, I would like to say that the Bloc Québecois has been asking for a moratorium on this for a long time. We are reasonably happy with the measures that have been taken, even though we think that the transition period could have been longer.
I have a question on the inflation in the share values of income trusts that we noticed in the years before the announcement. Is there reason to believe that the Conservative Party's promise to never tax income trusts helped to inflate their value even more? After all, potential investors saw these trusts as a very tempting investment vehicle, because the government of the day was promising never to touch them.
