First of all, Mr. Speaker, Parliament functions whether we are debating this or anything else, as it should, and this is an important function of Parliament. That is why members of the House voted with a majority, supported by the Speaker, to continue this investigation, and I happily will do that because this is important. Anybody who thinks $400 million can just be swept under the rug probably should not be in this place spending any money at all.
In the House of Commons on December 2nd, 2024. See this statement in context.
