Madam Speaker, my colleague talked about the importance of trust. I want to talk about the importance of our role as MPs. Our role is to ensure that what happens in government and in the machinery of government is fair, equitable, proper and ethical. The role of a committee is to assess how things are done and make sure they are done right. Its role is to offer suggestions for modifications and changes, so that processes are better applied.
In this case, what is the point of the Liberals holding on to information instead of working with all parliamentarians to improve processes? Does my esteemed colleague have an idea to explain their interest in withholding information?
