Mr. Speaker, I would remind the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance that is was not us who allowed the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade to publish, through CanadExport, a schedule of events where was announced a Tax Havens Conference. And the conference was not about tax treaties.
The literature dealt with tax havens. As I said, topics included the origin of tax havens, their use as a financial strategy, how to choose a tax haven that's right for you, tax havens and Canada's tax laws, and how to get the most out of your tax havens.
I have a problem with that. The Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance would do well to read the brochures published by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade. It would help him understand that he is not signing tax treaties but rather doing business with tax havens.
