Madam Speaker, here are a couple of my favourite adages: Two heads are better than one, and opposing for the sake of opposing is not constructive, especially when one is responsible for managing public assets.
I can assure the House that I will never be in government. However, if I were, I would want to know what was not working. I would work with others to improve whatever was going wrong, because that is the responsible and dignified thing to do. We are all elected and we all represent our constituents, not just the ones who voted for us, but also those who voted against us. We must represent them with dignity. That being the case, I find it hard to understand why the government refuses to hand over the documents. This would allow it to ensure, not as a government, but as a manager of funds, that all funds are being used properly.
I would like my colleague to comment on that and on the importance of transparent collaboration between the parties for the common good of the people.
