Mr. Speaker, I find it quite interesting to hear my colleague across the way make all these comments this morning. We both sit on the transport committee and he did a great job playing with the facts. He said we have turned a blind eye, but I would like to remind him that when the Conservatives, under Stephen Harper, found out about this contamination, they not only turned a blind eye but completely shut off their ears because they did not want to know anything about it. Moreover, they were ready to sell it.
Can the member explain why there was inaction in those years and why the Conservative government was trying to get rid of this problem and sell it off?
