Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my hon. colleague for those kind words.
I think he is raising a very important question. If Parliament cannot fulfill its constitutional obligation to demand papers and receive such papers, Canadians will lose trust in the House of Commons. A lot of Canadians across the country are feeling disillusioned by our institutions. That is because this institution is being prevented from doing its job.
Canadians work so hard, but business insolvencies right now are up 50% year over year. We have seen a record loss of businesses in our country. When businesses that have worked hard to stay afloat and create jobs see this institution throwing around hundreds of millions of dollars and not getting to the bottom of it, they question what is really going on in Ottawa.
