Madam Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question but I believe he is wrong. This is not a bill about privatization. I know the minister of revenue has been in consultation with all finance ministers of the provinces and territories. He has had detailed discussions with the minister of finance from the member's home province as he has had with the minister from my province of Manitoba. Those discussions have gone very well. The provinces recognize properly that in forming this new agency we are going to save Canadian taxpayers some money. Instead of two sets of books, two auditors and two processes, we can do it one time through this agency. We have the database and we are capable of doing this.
There is nothing inherent in this bill that would suggest it is going to be privatized, that information will be divulged to people who ought not to have it. I just finished saying that this is one of the guarantees that will be worked out in the bill with the participants in this province. There may be even more jobs created so I do not accept the hon. member's premise that there is some deep dark luring process in here that will send Canadian taxation and revenue employees scrambling to the streets looking for jobs.
