Mr. Speaker, the least we can say is that when the member for LaSalle—Émard negotiated this agreement, he apparently was both judge and jury. When we actually look at the subsidiaries that I mentioned a while ago, we realize that a tax treaty was negotiated with Barbados while the member had assets in that very jurisdiction.
Therefore, and this is important, the member for LaSalle—Émard should not necessarily turn this over to his son, as he did. I would point out that the ethics counsellor, who is independent, set out some safeguards on July 28, 2003. He recommended to the member for LaSalle—Émard that he take care with regard to future policies.
