Mr. Speaker, it is really unfortunate on a matter of some seriousness that the opposition is unable to treat a serious matter with the serious degree of concern that it requires.
Instead of yelling here in the House or trying to seek a diversion, why does the opposition not deal with the fundamental matter which is what the majority report did? This occurred in 1991 under the previous government. Immediately upon taking office we eliminated all fiscal abuses having to do with family trusts. We then asked the finance committee to take this issue on. It has in fact made a serious number of recommendations that we as a government intend to look at.
I only wish the opposition parties had been able to sit down and understand the issue. Under those circumstances they might have been able to deal with the debate in an intelligent way.
