This is like complaining about the ship that’s already long since sailed. It provides very little value other than those four most satisfying words in the English language, which are “I told you so.” The fact is this provides little value in the lead up and preparing for this particular initiative, because how do we prepare for it in a manner that makes sense to talk about these things? And that’s a failing of the process. That’s a failing of the Minister. That’s a failing of the system. How does the Minister defend that this simple piece of information that was asked for over a week ago or about a week ago couldn’t have been produced and been ready for a timely placement before the House before this forced vote on this particular initiative? The issue all along was asking for public information so we could digest this, discuss this, and bring this topic. I’m sure the public will realize that we’re not talking about the $300 million project anymore. We’re talking about the process.
