Mr. Speaker, no, this question is about what the federal government can do now to ensure markets have confidence by giving investors protection.
Many promotional materials on income trusts are intentionally misleading, but the agency with responsibility for this simply does not care. The Accounting Standards Board has refused to defend consumers even though it talks about misleading promotional practices. The government can fix this by changing the Income Tax Act with higher standards.
Will the minister recognize that it is his responsibility to clean up the mess or will he allow more investors to be misled on income trusts?
