In the case of the documents dealing with Afghanistan, the Conservatives gave us a reason; they invoked national security. In this case, how much are the F-35s going to cost? How much are the prisons going to cost? How much are corporate tax cuts going to cost? They have given us no explanation in that regard, and they have just been hiding behind the Cabinet. They will continue to hide, will refuse to tell Canadians anything and, when the bill passes into law, we will get a big surprise and then they will be telling us how much it going to cost.
