Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for the question.
I am sure she listened to my speech, but perhaps she missed the part where I mentioned the figures for 2005 and 2012, when there was a significant increase in the number of counterfeit products entering Canada. Before 2005-06, the number was much lower. The issue has evolved considerably.
The hon. member is saying that the previous government, which has not been in power for eight years, could have taken measures to combat counterfeiting. I agree that we must always try to find ways to combat counterfeiting. At the same time, does the hon. member truly remember that before 2006, there were a lot of comments and concerns in the country about counterfeiting, the way there is now in companies for example? I do not think so.
