Mr. Speaker, I, too, am disappointed to have to rise this evening to speak to this issue. When I arrived here in 2015, I attended the session for new members of Parliament. There were 200 of us who were new, and I was so excited, because everyone I talked to from every party said the same thing, that we were all here to work together collaboratively to make a better Canada. A better Canada is things like affordable housing, public pharmacare, affordable daycare and helping students with tuition fees.
My question for the member for Davenport, who I have a great deal of respect for, is this: Why will the government not just agree to a full public inquiry so we can get on with doing the business I know the people of Kootenay—Columbia sent me here to do and that the rest of us were sent here to do? Let us agree to a full public inquiry and let us get on with doing the things that are important to make a better Canada.
