Taxpayers bear the entire risk of this project, then. No officer or director of the corporation is bearing that risk.
At this time, I think I'm finished with my questions. I'm going to ask for some indulgence from the chair.
Given everything we've heard in this investigation, I'd like to give notice of a motion for the production of documents. I have sent it to the clerk in both official languages. The motion I'm putting on notice is for transparency and accountability for the $206-million taxpayer-backed financing. Canadians deserve to know how the project was approved, what risks were taken and whether public money replaced the private investment. The motion asks the committee to issue an order to the Canada Infrastructure Bank to produce all unredacted records of communications with ministers and MPs, internal due diligence, and full loan terms, including interest rates and guarantees. We are requesting that Roswall Development provide their communications with the government and the bank and all records showing the private financing they pursued before turning to taxpayers.
If private capital wouldn't take this on, Canadians deserve to know why. Since there is a taxpayer-funded project, it is incumbent on the CIB and Roswall Development to be transparent.
Thank you.
