Madam Speaker, earlier I mentioned tax evasion. The hon. member said that this bill is inadequate. The government prides itself on the fact that it is protecting Canadians from criminals, except when those criminals are diverting billions of dollars. I would like to read a quote from today's Journal de Montréal:
“Although securities offences may invoke serious harm for individuals, companies and society, the penalties will often be limited to administrative and regulatory sanctions such as fines,” the report states.
Does my colleague believe we will have time to explore the penalties imposed on people who are currently committing tax evasion?
