Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will be pretty quick. I just want to say that I support Mr. Deltell's motion. Like most Canadians, I was surprised by the announcement of bonuses for Bombardier's executives.
Yet a few months, if not a few weeks, before receiving government support, those executives were saying that they were in a precarious situation, that they absolutely had to get the government's support to continue with Bombardier's projects, including the C Series. A few weeks later, after begging the government for public money, they give themselves enormous bonuses.
I can understand Canadians' surprise and shock—feelings that are shared by parliamentarians, including the Conservatives and even the Liberals. Our chair also shares that feeling. So it goes without saying that we should take a closer look at the situation, not only with the Bombardier president and chief executive officer, but also with the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, who has signed or is preparing to sign the loan given to Bombardier.
Light must be shed on the conditions attached to this kind of a loan to ensure that, in the future, situations like this one do not happen again. Taxpayers' money is very precious. It is the duty of parliamentarians to ensure that every dollar is spent wisely and that everything is in place to avoid unfortunate situations, like the one we have recently experienced with Bombardier.
So I support my colleague, and I hope that all the colleagues around the table will also support this motion to shed light on the situation and avoid this happening in the future.
