Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today in the House in support of the motion moved by my colleague, the member for Elk Island.
The government should comply with such a request. It is a request for clarity. Parliamentarians should be clearer in the requests they routinely make of the government. When constituents tell an MP there is something odd, it is important that people can finally say that parliamentarians and MPs are really there to stand up for their interests.
Earlier, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Works gave us the history of the Royal Mint, and of this new project. This is why I am supporting the motion. She did well to give the background, but I support a motion for greater clarity. That is something I find very important.
We live in a very fast-paced world, and a project of this sort involves more than $5 million. As the Reform Party member says, perhaps it is bigger than they think. We are talking about a project involving over $30 million.
I strongly urge the House to support the Reform Party member's proposal and motion, and tell him that he has the support of Bloc Quebecois members.
