Ethics  Mr. Speaker, the federal rules are among the strictest in the country. In fact, in some provinces, individuals can donate in the tens of thousands of dollars. Other jurisdictions have no limits. Some provinces also allow donations from unions, trade associations, and corporations.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, as the member very well knows, the federal rules are some of the strongest in the country. In fact, in some provinces, individuals can donate in the tens of thousands of dollars, and in other jurisdictions they have no limits.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, as I said, federal politics is subject to some of the strictest political financing legislation and regulation in all of the country. When the rules are followed, no conflicts of interest can exist, and we will continue to follow the rules.

Business of the House  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. This afternoon we will continue to debate the supply day motion. Tomorrow we will commence debate on Bill C-29, the second budget implementation act, and we will continue studying that bill next week. On Tuesday afternoon, the Minister of Finance will present the fall economic statement.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, I will repeat that the federal rules are some of the strongest in the country. We know that all members of Parliament in all parties fundraise, and we all abide by the exact same rules. We have committed to following the rules, and we will continue to do so.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, the answer is the answer. They asked a question, and I gave them an answer. The truth is that federal rules are among the strictest rules in the country, and that is a fact.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, I have said time and time again that the federal rules are some of the strongest in the entire country. In fact, in some provinces, individuals can donate in the tens of thousands of dollars, and in others, there are no limits. Some provinces accept donations from unions, trade associations, and corporations.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a quick moment, because there are many communities that will be celebrating this weekend, to wish all members in the House and all Canadians a happy Diwali and happy Bandi Chhor Divas. To answer the member's question, he knows very well that federal politics is subject to some of the strictest rules when it comes to finance legislation.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, I will repeat that federal politics is subject to some of the strictest political financing legislation and regulations in the country, and the party fully complies with the Canada Elections Act in all cases. When the rules are followed, no conflict of interest can exist.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, this government ran on a commitment to engage with Canadians and to work with Canadians. We ran on a platform, and we are committed to advancing that platform. We committed to a more open, more transparent, more accessible government. We have reduced taxes on the middle class.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, the member is intentionally confusing an open and transparent budget consultation process with lawful and ethical fundraising. The federal rules are some of the strongest in the country, and the member knows that we follow all the rules, and he knows it very well.

Small Business and Tourism  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for that great question. Being named the top tourist destination in 2017 by Lonely Planet is both an endorsement and an opportunity, an opportunity to grow the economy, increase export revenues, create more jobs for the middle class and those working hard to join it, and bring more tourists to our great nation for a taste and feel of what Canada has to offer.
