That's why it shouldn't be public. I don't know if anyone from Stellantis is listening, but I want to say that they are using taxpayers' money. Who's in charge? Is it democracy, the government, or the company?
As an entrepreneur myself, I've signed contracts. When you sign a contract, it involves public money.
What are they afraid of if they don't want us to sit down and review the contract in camera? We're not asking for the moon; we're only asking for what every member of Parliament should be asking for, namely respect for our democracy and for taxpayers' money.
Personally, I'm really looking forward to Stellantis' response. What I understand, considering that disclosure occurs on a sliding scale, is that there probably won't be any big surprises.
I think we could get this done quickly if Stellantis agreed to our request and we did the review in camera, without access to our electronic tools, much like we do during the pre-budget briefing with the media. I have been through this kind of situation before, as has my predecessor.
Do you think that could happen here?
