Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm certainly happy to hear that there is one federal Liberal who still talks positively about Doug Ford and what he feels about transportation. I'm sure he'll go to bed feeling better about that.
This is simply it. The motion and the amendment were obviously tabled so that the government could have some comfort. The motion and the amendment were written to give members of the Liberal Party a bit of comfort. It may be cold comfort, but it still is comfort that they could have something where they could talk about.... They are obviously opposed to any scrutiny whatsoever when it comes to this deal. To me, that says right away that there's something wrong here. They've known it from the beginning. The fact that they wouldn't mention or speak to the motion and rarely spoke to the amendment shows that they are opposed.
I would encourage all members to vote for it, but let's just get to a vote. Let's let democracy happen here. Let's let our constituents know whether we are with them in transparency and doing our jobs or whether you'll just be cynical about it and vote against it because you want to cover for the government.
