Luc Thériault Bloc Québécois
“I am worried about this bill. It lets unelected people spend billions of defence dollars. The government will use this to avoid blame if things go wrong, which means there will be no accountability.”
“Mr. Speaker, is my colleague not concerned, as I am, that, by creating a Crown corporation and giving a board of directors who are not elected the responsibility of spending billions of dollars, the government is shirking its responsibilities and washing its hands in the event of unpopular decisions or scandals? Does he not think that there will be less accountability, if not a complete lack of accountability?”
