Mr. Speaker, the hon. member talked about the fact that the government has not even looked at, or cannot quantify, what the costs are going to be.
I have had the pleasure of serving on the operations committee for close to 10 years. My colleague attended as well for a short period. At one time, we had a visiting delegation from Vietnam, from their version of the operations committee. We were looking at a government bill, and the government stated that it had not costed what the bill would cost Canadians. The Communist Party members from Vietnam lectured us, saying that they would never, ever bring forward legislation without knowing what it would cost their citizens.
I wonder what my colleague thinks about Communist Vietnam being more concerned about taxpayers and transparency than the Liberal government.
