I think it is clear that the government does not seem interested in being transparent or ensuring Canadians know what is going on. I was not consulted regarding the government’s position or the suggestion that we invite government officials to appear, and I am certain Mr. Mulcair was not either. I find that odd, given that during a certain period, the government wanted only ministers to appear before the committee. At the end of the day, the government does what suits it best at the time. I understand why Mr. Brison crossed the floor. It has to do with the fact that this government is more reformist than conservative.
We have an obligation to support this motion. Clearly, Parliament should be sovereign, and I support this motion.
