Mr. Chair, in his remarks, my colleague talked about contracts, and that reminds me of the battle that took place at the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology two years ago, specifically regarding the Stellantis, Honda and Volkswagen contracts. The Conservatives were fighting what I thought was an irresponsible battle to release the contracts. We had access to them. Although I thought it was reasonable for us, as parliamentarians, to be able to verify the content and ask certain questions, respecting trade secrecy is essential if we want to maintain investments. Is it Conservative policy to want to make these contracts public and to always fight these battles, which will harm Canada's and Quebec's ability to attract foreign investment? That is the consequence. The Conservatives are saying it will make trade secrets public when firms invest here. Is that really what the Conservatives want to do?
