Mr. Speaker, at the risk of repeating myself, the element of confidentiality is a fundamental element we will continue to protect.
I have said that there could be exchanges of information in the case of jointly administered programs. I briefly alluded to sections of the Income Tax Act authorized us to exchange this information, which is done with a view to improving government administration.
Once again, I think that the opposition should join with the government so that we can explain to the public that when we speak of confidentiality, privacy, it is something we do not take lightly.
