Mr. Speaker, the hon. member is making allegations which are, as I have just said, totally unfounded. The Minister of Finance has all of his assets in trusts, with no right of inspection.
As Minister of Finance, he is not involved in any way whatsoever with shipping. It is the Minister of State from Toronto who is involved in those matters, and the staff of his department.
Bill C-28 is an omnibus bill with more than 300 amendments and, I repeat, the minister is not involved at all in these proposed amendments.
