Madam Speaker, we all want to have these documents to be able to do a complete analysis of the situation and make recommendations to improve the process. It is part of our job to request these documents to hold the government accountable, not to us, but to the public and the money it entrusts to us to manage.
We have been asking for these documents for four or five weeks and it seems clear that we will not be getting them. If we do not receive them, that means that the government is not transparent and, as such, we cannot have confidence in it. If this is a foregone conclusion, then we should be proceeding with triggering an election, unless the Conservatives have a secret agenda to keep the government in power until they decide it is time for an election.
The government does not have the confidence of the House. Why does the opposition not trigger an election?
