We posted so many good amendments. There were 15 good amendments. This is one of the ones the Liberals voted against, unfortunately, and it didn't pass.
To understand why the government seals voted against it, we needed to see what the department of bureaucrats told them was wrong with it, because those are secret memos, apparently. Apparently, the government is trying to hide the reasons—much like this contract—that it wants this motion that we put forward to amend the Investment Canada Act defeated. That, again, would not take 2,959 days, which is a slightly different number than the last one, and it wouldn't take 2,961 days, a separate number, but for some reason, it's the exact same amount of time—2,960 days.
The Phoenix pay system is at work here in the openness and transparency under these Liberals that Mr. Masse wants to depend on for the release of the contract.
Mr. Masse has been in this place a long time. I believe it's since 2004. Did I get that right? It was since 2002. Thank you, Mr. Masse.
