Dan Albas Conservative
“The government is hiding the details on this project. Norway spent 40 million dollars to build and own their own system, but the Liberals want to give 200 million dollars of public money away. We need real answers, and a committee should order the government to hand over the documents.”
“Mr. Speaker, I understand what the member is saying. The government has gone completely radio silent when it comes to transparency on this. It is claiming that MLS answers a problem it has not properly defined. As I said, in Norway they spent about $40 million to create their own infrastructure, which the people own. The Liberals would be giving $200 million of taxpayer money, financed by bondholders. We deserve answers. Maybe the member might want to go to the national defence committee and ask for a production order in relation to this.”
