Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question.
This initiative is driven by a deep sense of arrogance. It will not work. An initiative like this only works if we believe that opposition members do not have the right to question a majority government. It only works if we think that the government is competent enough and that its position cannot be called into question because it listened to what people had to say.
That is how the government is justifying spending money before informing Parliament. The Liberals must be really arrogant to think that that is enough and that they can ignore the House procedures that have been in place for 150 years. Canadians do not like that attitude. They want better accountability when the government spends their money.
