Mr. Speaker, with respect, I disagree with his characterization of the funding designated for the Canadian Securities Transition Office. That organization co-operates with willing partners at the provincial level on securities regulations and on other important matters, including tax evasion.
It is the government's view that this organization does good work, but I would point out that provinces that do not wish to co-operate with the CSTO are not forced to in any way, shape or form. I look forward to the debate on that proposed amendment.
