Mr. Speaker, the fact is the government is taking public property and it is selling it back to Canadians at a profit. These documents belong to the people of Canada. They have already paid for them. However, if they want to have access to them, they will have to pay again.
The digitization plan at Library and Archives Canada is already under free-fall due to the minister's reckless cuts. These are his mistakes. Does he really think it is fair to make Canadians pay for them twice?
