Thank you.
We used to know the single largest writeoffs. We don't know those anymore. We are unable to determine the total amounts of writeoffs for various activities. I'll reiterate that I think this is a matter of public interest. I'm not asking you whether you agree with it or not. I'm making a point that this is information that I think is relevant to the public. Taxpayers—and parliamentarians, frankly—deserve to know who these individuals are. I say “individuals”, but I mean corporations.
I understand that there may be some concerns about privacy. I don't know if anyone can speak to this, but if a corporate name appears on a registry or in a public document today, is it not already the case that someone can search in publicly available registries for who the directors of that corporation are, whether it's a provincially registered entity or a federally registered entity?
