Mr. Speaker, I think the question is a little silly and does not really merit an answer.
I refer to the hon. member's preamble when he talks about 13 years. The impetus for this came following the tragic events of 2001. That was not 13 years ago. It was approximately five years ago.
He is talking about action. The Liberal government acted immediately after the events of September 11 and produced the bill within months to set up FINTRAC which has the powers to take strong action and has taken action to deal with money laundering and terrorist financing.
He talks about 13 years but it has nothing to do with 13 years. Within months of the events of September 11, 2001, FINTRAC was up and running owing to the hard work, the commitment and the sense of urgency of the Liberal government following the events of September 11, 2001.
Now there is a little housekeeping being done and the Conservatives are claiming massive credit for minimal action.
