Mr. Speaker, I first want to commend my colleague and friend from Mirabel on his excellent speech.
With regard to the $25-billion fund to build Canada strong, when we look at the revenues and expenditures set out in this update, we do not see that $25 billion figure. One has to go to page 129, under non-budgetary transactions, where there is a line that refers to enterprise Crown corporations. The amount is not broken down. We were told that the fund could be found there.
This is not very transparent. Had this fund been included in the budgetary operations, then we would not be talking about a reduced deficit but an increased deficit. Once the money is in the Crown corporation, as is the case with Build Canada Homes or any other Crown corporation that is set up, there is no longer any accountability to the House. We, as MPs, can no longer ask the government questions about it. It is managed independently, but as my colleague said, perhaps not so as independently as all that. What does my colleague think about that?
I would obviously ask the other members to keep their voices down so that I can hear my colleague's answer.
