Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As I was saying when I proposed the motion, it seems to me fairly clear that we need to get the documents related to this coalition agreement between the two parties, signed or not. That agreement will significantly impact many upcoming expenditures and the work of parliamentarians and of our committee. I think the exercise to shed light on that is a pretty simple democratic exercise. That is why the motion is not intended to provoke. It is simply intended to obtain information, as is our right.
My respected NDP colleague does not agree with me, but this is an agreement concluded between the the NDP leader and Canada's Prime Minister, who decided to establish a game plan for the coming years. That's their choice, but we just want to know what the state of the negotiations is, what those negotiations covered and what documents have been signed in relation to that supply and confidence agreement. As I said, this is a pretty simple request by the official opposition. I think the Bloc Québécois will also agree in saying that this kind of an agreement must be concluded transparently. That is simply in the interest of all Canadians.
