Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech and for mentioning me in it. She is my riding neighbour and normally I really like her, and I still do today, but I have to correct some of the things that she said. She is accusing us playing political games and engaging in obstruction, which is absolutely not what we are doing.
What we are calling for is what she mentioned in her speech. We want the government to acknowledge past mistakes and commit to not repeating them. The Liberals have been saying that all day, so they should agree with it. As for the high-speed rail project, we have said repeatedly that we support it. We just want it to be done right.
When we think of Mirabel, where 85% of the expropriations had to be cancelled afterwards, and when we think about the current project, where the government wants to keep a 100-kilometre corridor open when it only needs 60 metres for the project, we feel concerned. That is only natural.
There has been talk about laws, and I also like those laws. Under section 98, approval must be obtained from the Canadian Transportation Agency. That is one of the existing protections. However, Bill C-15 will do away with that. My colleague needs to reconsider part of her speech. I would like her to share her thoughts on the Canadian Transportation Agency.
