Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague. I really enjoy serving with him on the Standing Committee on Public Accounts. I think that the two of us manage to get quite a bit of work done on that committee. We make a pretty good team.
It is true that the Conservatives will often take on an issue just because it suits their purposes or because it will provide them with nice video clips. However, this issue goes deeper than that. It is not just about video clips, moral authority or fiscal responsibility. It is more than that. We are talking about serious allegations of corruption, potential fraud and potential embezzlement.
However, the government refuses to provide any documents that could well be relevant. That is a major problem. My colleague and I believe in the supremacy of Parliament and in the fact that democracy depends on trust. That trust is currently being undermined around the world, but also in Canada. What the government is doing is undermining the trust that everyone here needs, whether in Quebec or in Canada.
