Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Obviously, I agree with the amendment, since people's personal information must be protected, of course.
I would like to add something, because my anglophone colleagues may not have read the article published inLa Presse this morning.
Mr. Kemper agrees with the Conservatives in calling for all of the information to be made public. He said that he thinks this is a great example of how we need more transparency and accountability in the government.
He went on to say that any expenditure of public funds should be recorded in a permanent register and the identities of the decision-makers should be associated with each entry.
He also said that in the case of the contract he was awarded, it would be clear who approved the decisions, the amount and the purpose.
Mr. Kemper himself said this to the journalist at La Presse. Mr. Kemper does not feel at all attacked by our motion; on the contrary, he thinks it would be a very good idea to really know what is going on and to record the information connected with a contract in a clear and unredacted manner, unlike what we have received.
