Mr. Vaughan can wordsmith all he likes. As I suggested, I would be open to a friendly amendment on excluding proprietary information, but I received redacted documents from the government—after this government promised to Canadians that it would outline everything on March 31, and did not—and now am told I'm being irresponsible as a parliamentarian.... I was given a bunch of black pages by the Government of Canada when I asked for transparency. To then make it seem that I'm the irresponsible one for fighting and that Mr. Vaughan, the parliamentary secretary, is accountable to Canadians on the decisions of the government is misleading to all the members here.
I am open to a friendly amendment. I'll table one right now that maybe the lawyers, through the HUMA committee, exclude proprietary information but list the project names that were approved and those that were rejected to this committee. All I'm after is which projects were rejected and which ones were approved. He could have given that to me in the Order Paper questions, but Mr. Vaughan and his department decided to give us zero information.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
