Madam Speaker, I spent a number of hours with my hon. colleague at the finance committee as he made sure that the previous government got its budget bills passed all the way through. It might have been a painful process, but the Liberals did get through it in the end.
I would say that I am open to reasonable suggestions. It was not my intention to create additional problems with respect to partnerships, because they are structured differently, of course. The primary thrust of this bill was to focus on corporations and trusts, with a strong emphasis on corporations. As I say, I would be open to suggestions regarding how to improve that portion of the bill if members think there is a better way to accomplish the objective.
