Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First of all, I was hearing on the other side that the Conservatives were talking about this money going into the black hole. In fact, I want to remind these honourable members that when Brian Mulroney, who turned out to be a mentor to this government, left this country in the woes of bankruptcy, we brought that out. In fact, the $54 billion that they're saying went into the black hole went into paying for programs for the ones who needed it the most.
Now, my concern is about the accountability of this minister when they're setting up this crown corporation and putting only $2 billion as a reserve. If I look at the accountability and transparency, we can go head on. We all know that the accountability and transparency, issue by issue, is going down the drain.
I am also concerned. On one side, Mr. Gagnon is saying it's $15 billion that they are looking for, and the government is saying $2 billion. I have a concern there. In those bad times the money is wiped out and then we just don't want to be accountable for that.
Would you like to comment on that particular situation?
