Mr. Dubé, I thank my colleague for his comments because I think that is what they were. I agree with him, but I want to make a correction. He cannot attribute to the Leader of the Official Opposition actions in which he was not involved in any way. Let us not forget that he resigned from the Conservative government on May 22, 1990.
When we talk about C-113 and C-105, those bills came after our leader's resignation. I can confirm, since I checked the date myself, that the present Leader of the Opposition left the Conservative Party on May 22, 1990.
As for the other comments regarding family trusts, the hon. member gives me an opportunity to find the explanation that I was looking for earlier as to what may have happened over the last year for people to change their mind. We saw what happened in the case of Pearson airport. We can feel the influence of lobbyists or people who represent powerful financial interests, including the rich families, and there are not that many of them in Quebec nor in Canada. It is something worth looking into, but I will not draw that conclusion myself, giving the government the benefit of the doubt.
However, regarding the hon. member's comments about the Leader of the Opposition and his involvement with Bill C-113 or C-105, the member cannot accuse him of having supported these bills because, according to the information I have, he voted against these measures and was no longer a member of the Conservative government at the time.
