Mr. Speaker, it is a bit sad to see the opposition trying to make political hay of such important matters as the confidentiality rules of the Income Tax Act.
I repeat: there is still good co-operation between the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency and the RCMP.
Also, and this is important, the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency has general authority for tax investigations in Canada and only rarely do we turn to outside agencies.
Finally, I would again like to draw the House's attention to the press release issued by the RCMP last week, which speaks for itself.
