Madam Speaker, if I am not mistaken, the member across the way is an accountant by training. So am I, as it happens. He has been an MP in the Liberal government for a few years now. If I am not mistaken, he, like me, was elected in 2015. In 2015, the net benefit review threshold was $369 million. Today, the threshold is $1.9 billion. There is quite a gap between $1.9 billion and $369 million. However, it was the member's government that raised the threshold year after year. In any case, it does not even review 1% of investments. My question is the following. As an accountant, does he think that $1.9 billion is pocket change?
