Mr. Speaker, there is a mess here, and it started 10 days before the last election.
I can recall very clearly how explicit it was during the election campaign that a government days before an election did not have the moral authority or parliamentary authority to commit the Government of Canada to a transaction of the magnitude and importance of this one. This was not in any doubt whatsoever.
The fact that the government of the day went ahead and signed this transaction is the exact and only cause of the mess that surrounds Pearson airport today.
If the hon. member would tell his friends in the Senate to get on with completing Bill C-22, we could get on with the work at Pearson airport.
