Mr. Speaker, I would very much like to comment on that and I am pleased to hear the member say that we do not need a royal commission.
His question is so timely. We had a meeting this morning of the steering committee on transport. The Reform Party had I think two representatives there and we agreed unanimously that what we want the transport committee of the House of Commons to do is go into as much detail as we possibly can, to get as much information as we possibly can, to put it out on the table as fast as we can so that through this medium people in this House and people in this country will know exactly what kind of process was ongoing to strike that kind of deal that interfered with the rights of Canadians.
I hope that we can all learn a lesson on this side and on the member's side that we should never, if we represent the people in this country properly, allow ourselves to get into that kind of negotiating process again. I would be very upset if I saw anyone in this House get into that type of process of negotiation with such lobbying and such influence that it would be embarrassing to be a member of this government.
I welcome that question. The information that the member is requesting will be forthcoming through the Standing Committee on Transport and his membership in his party.
