Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my hon. colleague for giving such an informative speech on the importance of taking a stand on a report that talks about the budget, taxpayers' money and how it is managed and spent.
Can she tell us why the Conservatives are so afraid to vote on it? What are they trying to hide? Do they not want Canadians to know, because they want it referred to committee, even though the report is coming to us from committee, where it was examined?
Experts gave their opinions and an enormous amount of work was done by all members from all parties. They Conservatives still want to hide information and play a shell game, so that no one knows what is really going on. There are 16 very important recommendations, if I am not mistaken.
Why does the government want to hide them?
