Mr. Chair, I am disappointed with what just happened, the vote we just lost. We did it for the good of the National Capital Commission. We wanted more involvement in the decision-making process, as well as public involvement.
This is a key point. It is paramount that elected representatives in the House of Commons be able to debate and make decisions regarding the National Capital Commission's plans for the future. Then, elected officials could solicit the opinions of members of civil society—given this opportunity we have just lost.
First of all, it is extremely important to finally have all the transparency needed for the cities in Quebec and the City of Ottawa, as well as other cities in Ontario, to work with their respective government on improving these cities, which are affected by the National Capital Commission. We support L-4.
