Mr. Speaker, again, we will have another representative at the Just for Laughs Festival. I cannot believe the comments made by the hon. member from Ontario, who, usually, takes positions that show he is capable of thinking and also of being critical.
I understand that, when we are dealing with money, finances or election funds, money talks. So, like all his colleagues, the hon. member from Ontario must rise in this House to defend the foxes lurking around the henhouse.
In response to the hon. member, who asked me why I do not look at my colleagues and ask them what they are doing about family trusts, I can tell him that I am quite happy to turn to my colleagues, especially the former leader of the Bloc Quebecois who is now the premier of Quebec. He himself raised this matter in this House several times during the 1993 election campaign-we could show you the many speeches he gave on this and the questions that were asked about family trusts. No, I am not ashamed to turn to my colleagues who used to be in the Conservative Party, because they have done an extraordinary job as Bloc representatives in this House. Those who are still among us continue to do so.
I wish I could say the same about our Liberal colleagues. Again, I hope they will change their minds and shift directions. The credibility of our institutions is at stake. Your credibility and that of the finance and revenue departments is at stake.
When we ask people to pay taxes and to do their share to correct the current situation, everyone must pull his or her weight, including the rich.
