Mr. Speaker, I too am a new MP, as my Liberal colleague mentioned.
I listened carefully to my colleague's speech. I heard him talk about the oversight of arms exports and strengthening our laws. From my understanding, the member recognizes that our job, as MPs, is to scrutinize the government's activities, including Canadian arms sales.
Why then did the member's party and the government vote against an NDP motion that would have ensured parliamentary oversight of Canadian arms exports?
