Mr. Speaker, we obviously have here a situation calling for very serious consideration. Indeed, I would say that the questions asked by the Leader of the Opposition in a very serious and responsible tone are to the point.
That said, the auditor general did not mention any pressure from finance officials. He said discussions took place, but there were no transcripts.
Let us be quite clear. Since coming to office, we have put in place many measures dealing specifically with family trusts. In fact, not only were measures dealing with family trusts introduced by our government in our February 1995 budget, but they went much further than recommended by the finance committee.
