Madam Speaker, I can tell the member what would not happen: The government would not comply with the production order.
It all comes back to the “who made who” type of thing, so let us go all the way back. Corruption happened at SDTC. Liberal insiders lined the pockets of their own companies, knowingly putting themselves in conflict of interest positions. One of the board members actually ran away from a Zoom call. She just darted off camera because she did not like some of the questions she was getting.
Government officials, including senior cabinet ministers, knew about this and did nothing. They did not call in the cops, did not try to get Canadians their money back and did not try to hold anybody accountable. They tried to sweep it under the rug.
As the details came out at committee, the Liberals continued to filibuster and stonewall to try to prevent Canadians and parliamentarians from knowing what happened. Our last recourse as the opposition was to use our powers as a collective to produce these papers. The Liberals continue to refuse to do that. That is the reason we are still debating this motion.
