Thank you.
The motivation's simple: It's transparency. It's $15 billion of taxpayer money going to subsidize one of the largest foreign auto companies in the world. There should be transparency on where it's going.
I understand that there may be something that's really commercially sensitive in this, but I didn't see it when I read the Volkswagen contract. With most of the issues, either the minister's talked about them or they're in the IRA, so I don't know why the Liberals are afraid of them.
Apparently Marc Miller, your colleague and a minister of the Crown, just tweeted, “South Koreans are eligible to work at NextStar EV factory”. What is it? Are they not allowed to, or are they allowed to? Perhaps we should listen to a minister of the Crown.
Going forward, that's why we need transparency. We need to hear from witnesses on the public contract and what the company is willing to put out about what's going on here.
