“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles for his foresight and for urging everyone to open our eyes so that everyone understands what is going on here. This is no ordinary approach, and he has rightfully denounced a form of collusion or, at the very least, proximity, which is the key factor in securing a “prestigious” position. As a taxpayer, I am concerned. There is a fundamental function in this Parliament: that of the Auditor General. However, we know full well that an agency like this cannot be thoroughly audited by the Auditor General. The AG does not have access to the same information as she would if the agency fell under the responsibility of the department, as it should. I would like to hear my colleague’s thoughts on any other possible ways the government might be able to pull a little stunt like this and avoid being accountable to the public, which will benefit the Prime Minister’s friend.”

Mr. Speaker, Claims · 126 wordsas I mentioned a few times in my speech, that is the problem: It is the lack of transparency.When something is opaque, it means we cannot see what is going on.We are left in the dark.That is the main danger posed by Bill C-40, which would establish a defence procurement Crown corporation headed by someone coming from Goldman Sachs.1Everything is closed off.Everything is opaque.We know nothing, and we will know nothing.Unearned certaintyThat is precisely what should not be happening.That also explains why the Liberals have changed the way they have presented this file not once, not twice, but three times.It is also why they cannot answer the simple question of why they have changed course three separate times.
