The Acting Speaker Royal Galipeau
The honourable member for Chambly—Borduas may ask a very quick question.
Yves Lessard Bloc Chambly—Borduas, QC
Mr. Speaker, I do have a very quick question.
Given that knowledge is the foundation of democracy, we should have the opportunity to obtain information in order to make a decision.
I would ask my Liberal colleague, who just intervened, what is her understanding of the position of the Conservatives who refuse to allow the Standing Committee on National Defence to study the matter in order to advise this House?
Raymonde Folco Liberal Laval—Les Îles, QC
Mr. Speaker, I agree with my colleague completely.
We would even have liked some amendments to this motion, one of which would have been to ask the government to submit regular reports not only to the House of Commons, but also to the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development and the Standing Committee on National Defence.
I think that would be quite reasonable. That is what an accountable government would do.
