Mr. Speaker, the decision to make Roxham Road and all its facilities permanent raises some serious ethical questions. We know that the government awarded two Liberal donors at least seven contracts without a bidding process. We have no idea if there are more. Since the government refuses to disclose all the contracts, this afternoon, I will be asking the Standing Committee on Ethics to investigate the ethical aspect of awarding contracts. If the government has nothing to hide, it should disclose these documents itself. Will it make public all the federal contracts tied to Roxham Road?

Mr. Speaker, honestly, we are not talking about top secret documents here. We are talking about leases signed for land, trailers and hotel rooms. By refusing to disclose all the contracts tied to Roxham Road on a questionable pretext, the government is the one sowing doubt. The government is the one whose actions are reminding us of the billions of dollars awarded without a call for tenders to the big Liberal family during the pandemic. The government is the one suggesting that there is something to hide. Why wait to be forced to be transparent? Why not simply disclose the contracts?
