Madam Speaker, my opinion is that they are trying to hide something. I would like to read again something I have read before, because I think it is very imperative, especially with regard to the question I was just asked.
The statement was from a member of SDTC who was in committee. This is a direct quote: “I think the current government is more interested in protecting themselves and protecting the situation from being a public nightmare. They would rather protect wrongdoers and financial mismanagement than have to deal with a situation like SDTC in the public sphere.”
I think that quote sums up why we are seeing this lack of openness in the production of documents and why we are seeing a cover-up. Hopefully, we can get those documents. Hopefully, we can find out where the money went. Hopefully, we can recoup the money and get some back for taxpayers. Hopefully, soon we can get back to doing the productive day-to-day work we are sent here to do in passing legislation for the good people of Canada.
