Mr. Speaker, as I said in my presentation, we are voting against the Liberal Party motion. We are against it because it takes a step backward. We think this measure must be upheld.
However, we deplore the Conservatives' attitude during the last election campaign, when they informed Canadian and Quebec citizens that they would not intervene in income trusts. When they came into power, they did indeed intervene. This prompted a certain attitude in investors. Some had bought more, believing that the government would not interfere.
We must also criticize the Conservatives' attitude toward their broken election promise.
