Thank you. Madam Chair. I want to revisit two items. I will do it quickly and I will not drag out the time.
Mr. Warkentin was telling me—and I have nothing against you, Mr. Warkentin—that it was perhaps just because I am from Quebec that I ask so many questions about real estate. You said that I should calm down about real estate, Mr. Warkentin, but we cannot forget that this non-elected minister is selling and leasing back the most beautiful buildings in Canada without telling us, without telling members of this committee what is going on. Furthermore, he is acting unilaterally, because a part of the value of those buildings belongs to Quebec. Quebeckers paid their share, along with the rest of Canada, and these are beautiful buildings. When the minister sells them, leases them back, and gets a billion dollars, part of that money belongs to Quebec. I was elected in a constituency where they asked me to go and find information, but I am not getting any. I am doing my job.
As for public service renewal, they are hiding behind it. They say that they are the purest of the pure, but I do not think that the Conservatives or their non-elected minister are interested in it. If they were, the non-elected minister could perhaps have provided more financial resources to public service staff, which might help to reduce their workload.
I have not seen any additional amounts anywhere, not for improving people's physical surroundings, not for addressing the problem brought to us by people who tell us that they are overwhelmed in their jobs.
To sum up, gentlemen, I think we have to rebuild trust. I trust neither the non-elected minister nor the Conservative government. We find things out about the break, about the train, about all kinds of things in the morning papers. You are hiding all these things from us.
Now that I have said that, Madam Chair, I would like us to vote, please.
