Mr. Speaker, every time we ask the government for the Roxham Road contracts that it refuses to disclose, it responds that to the government, and I quote: transparency is critically important. That is a rather Orwellian response. Refusing to disclose contracts out of concern for transparency is not that far removed from being told that war is peace. I am blinded by all that transparency. Seriously, hiding public contracts is not transparency, it is secrecy. Can the government actually be transparent and simply disclose who it gave taxpayers' money to for Roxham Road? People have the right to know.
