Well, if we are being honest with ourselves here, this motion is about grandstanding at this point. A motion to have more information about these super secret meetings that have already been disclosed, along with the people the Prime Minister met with—which is public knowledge and on the public record now—doesn't seem to be a particularly good use of the committee's time.
The one thing I would say to the members opposite proposing this is, actually, a word of thanks for explaining to all of us—and I'm sure to our audience at the committee—the extent of the Prime Minister's expertise in helping to build private sector investments and relations across the world with some of the strongest economic and corporate actors in global markets today. At a time when members opposite spend much of question period talking about the importance of investment in the Canadian economy, I think it's reassuring to see a government focused on trying to ensure that Canada remains top of mind for some of the world's largest investors and that they understand directly from a high office, like the Prime Minister's Office, the value of investing and contributing to growth in Canada.
Despite my views on this matter, I still think, for the sake of the committee's time, that these meetings have already been disclosed and that we have lists in front of us of the people the Prime Minister met with. It should be within the prerogative of this committee to focus on work that will advance our understanding of access to information and ethics, rather than the grandstanding we're seeing here.
