Mr. Speaker, our Liberal colleague, the chairman of the Standing Committee on Finance, continues to insist that the present government is not
touched by the December 1991 ruling, because the ruling was made under the former government.
If that is true, why is the present government refusing to shed light on everything that preceded this meeting? Why does it approve of the fact that there were no minutes? Are we to understand that this shows better than anything that they could say that Canadian Conservatives and Liberals are as alike as peas in a pod, that they owe their existence to the same slush fund, that they are both in cahoots with financial circles, as was clear one evening when I took part-as I will tell you shortly-in the farce at which leading Canadian lights that advise wealthy families came to tell elected representatives and the public that they should mind their own business, that we were attacking the integrity of the Canadian tax regime?
I would like our honourable colleague, whose arrogance occasionally creeps through, to comment on this.
