First, I would like to congratulate the Minister for Finance for trying to bring improvements in this profession by introducing the Accountants Bill. As one of the old accountants in this House, I wish to support the Deputy Prime Minister's sentiments about the definition of \"immediate family\". I believe we will need to ratify that in the Committee Stage. With regard to the reputations of accountants, I would like to take exception with some hon. Members imputing that some members of the profession are dishonest. I wish to say that these people are the pillars of our country. As such, acting more as watchdogs, I believe they have done more good than harm and credit must be given where it is due."}
