Madam Speaker, I appreciate this member's work on the finance committee.
However, I think the finance critic for the Bloc Québécois, the member for Hochelaga, has pinpointed exactly what is wrong with the Liberal position. The Bloc Québécois has a position. I do not share that position, but it has a very clear position.
What is the position of the Liberal Party of Canada on a national securities regulator? Does it support the conclusion of the Hockin report? Does it support what the IMF and OECD have said? Does it support what former Alberta treasurer Jim Dinning has called for in terms of a Canadian securities regulator?
The Liberal Party cannot hide behind a Supreme Court decision. It has to come out now and state exactly what it stands for. Does it support a national regulator, or does it stand with the Bloc and say it is entirely under provincial jurisdiction, and we should have the passport system?
The Liberal Party needs to stand up today and state where it stands on this very important national issue.
