Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from the Progressive Conservative Party for his remarks, and I would like to ask him the following question. Does he not find the role played by Canada on the international stage with regard to tax practices somewhat troubling? For example, on the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade web site one can read the following:
Canadian banks have long had a successful presence in Barbados, and its important offshore financial sector is led by Canadian banks and insurance companies. Canadians now account for 90% of Barbados' offshore banking.
In view of the fact that that country is a tax haven, does my colleague not find it somewhat shocking to find such propaganda on the DFAIT web site?
