Pierre Paul-Hus Conservative
“This bill hides too much. It creates a defence agency run by someone from Goldman Sachs, but the public will not be able to see what it does. The Liberals have also changed their plans for this three times without explaining why.”
“Mr. Speaker, as 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. Everything is closed off. Everything is opaque. We know nothing, and we will know nothing. That 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.”
