Madam Speaker, the member for Bow River is exactly right. In the sample size that the Auditor General used to verify the process of spending and how decisions were made, she identified 186 particular situations where there was a conflict of interest or an apparent conflict of interest. These are situations where board members of the green slush fund should have recused themselves from the decision-making process.
Because the sample size does not include all the projects, there are projects for which we have no information. We really do not know how the decisions were made. Were the projects even eligible? As I mentioned in my intervention, close to $60 million was allocated to companies that had nothing to do with green technology. There might be more, which is why we want all the documents to be released to the public through the intermediary of the law clerk's office.
The law clerk's office is deeply respected. In fact, one of the previous law clerks, I will remind the House, was actually appointed to become the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. That is how much esteem the House, and presumably the government, has for the law clerk's office. I put forward a motion at the immigration committee on a similar situation, which was passed, for the production of documents. Again, we trust the law clerk's office to get the job right.
