Mr. Speaker, it was a real pleasure to work with the hon. member on the finance committee as well. We did an excellent job on the report on money laundering. I believe attorney general Eby from the government of B.C. appeared before the committee, which is who the member speaks of at the moment.
In response to his question, all I can say, and I would say this to those responsible within the executive council or the cabinet is let us get the negotiations done and get the money rolling.
Several people in the cabinet I have talked to have said that the report on money laundering was a good report. They were pleased it was an all-committee report and wanted to see it accomplished. I was told it would be a step-by-step process. Therefore, I would say to my own crowd, if I could put it that way, to let us get on with the negotiations; let us get the job done and address the money-laundering issue head-on.
