Mr. Duguay, my colleague, Mr. Housefather, began by somewhat trying to undermine the credibility of the witnesses who are here by asking them if they know something that we do not. We, the members of the opposition, asked for access to the contracts. The government refused, and stated that it was waiting for the contracts to be analyzed. At the same time, senior officials admitted that they warned subordinates to be careful about what they put in writing to ensure it would not end up in the hands of MPs.
Do you not find it odd that there is an attempt to undermine your credibility as a witness when the government is doing everything it can to prevent parliamentarians from obtaining only the information that has been made public? Do you not find it rather troublesome that these types of questions about your credibility are coming from the government?
