We're just talking about how the government is letting down Canadians. That's what we're really talking about.
This is a motion that is pro space. It's pro science. You can vote against it if you're anti space, you're anti science and you're anti taxpayer. We just want to get some accountability and some results out of this motion. That's why we're talking about this today.
We can't have this space ambition—and this launch pad is a symbol of Canadian ambition—without the accountability of the vision that it's trying to carry out. Without accountability, this is just another vanity project. We've seen the Liberals pursue ideological vanity projects over and over again. They have not stopped short of doing that. Since this new Liberal Prime Minister has taken office, a lot of their bills have been ideological projects. He has proven that he's not just a new prime minister; he's just another Liberal.
Parliament has a duty to ask questions, and Parliament asks questions through the committee, through the subject matter of the committee. This is the science and research committee.

These Liberals want Canadians to believe that this is some bold national investment, and of course they're going to wrap it in their slogans.
