Mr. Speaker, first of all, the minister said yesterday that she would refer the matter to the finance committee. The auditor general himself has admitted that this is a grey area, and one that is highly complex. Because we feel transparency is of the utmost importance, I believe an open discussion in the finance committee is the best way to discuss the matter and find a solution. I am sure that the Leader of the Opposition will accept this as a responsible reply.
Having said this, yes, the Leader of the Opposition is right in saying that the Bloc Quebecois were the ones to raise the matter of family trusts. That is, moreover, the reason we referred the matter of family trusts to the finance committee right at the start of our mandate. The Bloc Quebecois has continued to talk, while we have acted, doing away in our latest budget with any possibility of using family trusts as a means of evading taxes owed to the people of Canada.
