Thank you very much, Mr. Grech. I appreciate it. I truly hope, in a non-partisan way, that the Liberal members over there have heard this, because this is an easy, cost-efficient win that could help eastern Ontario tremendously, including the member for Bay of Quinte.
I'm going to move on from there to a notice of motion. I want Liberal members to listen to it fairly carefully, because we've done it in a very pointed way, in a way that's limited. I think it's easy, and I'm hopeful that when we eventually move the motion, we'll get unanimous support, because we've done it in a very limited way.
Here is the motion:
That, given that on March 25, 2026, the CEO of the Canada Infrastructure Bank stated that “if the committee wants an answer, I can aim to provide one”, and further stated that he is “always at the will of the committee” with respect to providing information on the repayment terms of the Canada Infrastructure Bank loan to the Mersey River Wind project,
a) the committee order the Canada Infrastructure Bank to provide the committee with the unredacted repayment terms of the loan to the Mersey River Wind project within 72 hours of the adoption of this motion, and
b) the committee instruct the chair to summons the CEO of the CIB to appear before the committee within five parliamentary sitting days following the 72-hour deadline, should the CIB fail to produce the full, unredacted repayment terms.
We're not asking for a million documents here. We're making a very specific request. There is almost no commercial reason that they shouldn't release this. It's a highly regulated industry, and all of this should be publicly provided.
As I said, we've done this in a very precise way, and I'm hoping we get unanimous support for those repayment terms, if for no other reason than to clear the air.
Thank you.
