Part of the concern is that literally last year, one week before the Federal Court of Appeal said you failed in your indigenous consultations last time around, you said you believed that your process would hold up. Then the Prime Minister, the finance minister and the natural resources minister all promised legislation to give the legal and political certainty needed for the private sector proponent to proceed. Then you didn't deliver, and then you attacked anyone who suggested the very thing your own Prime Minister promised.
Let's just look at costs quickly, since this is a really important aspect to taxpayers now that you've put them on the hook. The Parliamentary Budget Officer says that if you miss this year's construction season, it will cost taxpayers billions of dollars more and that these increases in construction costs will reduce the sale value of the pipeline and drop the value of the asset.
Can you explain exactly what the cost to taxpayers will be for the construction and completion of the Trans Mountain expansion?
Une partie du problème, c'est qu'il y a un an, littéralement une semaine avant que la Cour d'appel fédérale affirme que vous n'aviez pas respecté les exigences de consultations des communautés autochtones la dernière fois, vous disiez croire que les mesures que vous aviez prises suffiraient. Ensuite, le premier ministre, le ministre des Finances et le ministre des Ressources naturelles ont tous promis une loi afin de procurer au promoteur privé toute la certitude juridique et politique nécessaire pour aller de l'avant. Vous n'avez pas tenu promesse et ensuite, vous vous êtes mis à attaquer quiconque proposait exactement ce que votre propre premier ministre avait promis.
Examinons brièvement les coûts, comme c'est un élément très important pour les contribuables, maintenant que vous leur refilez la facture. Le directeur parlementaire du budget affirme que si vous ratez la saison de construction de cette année, il leur en coûtera des milliards de dollars de plus, que cela fera bondir les coûts de construction et réduire la valeur marchande du pipeline, ainsi que la valeur de l'actif.
Pouvez-vous nous expliquer exactement combien il en coûtera aux contribuables pour la construction et l'achèvement de l'agrandissement du réseau de Trans Mountain?

That's different from my recollection.
What I wanted to ask you about today was this. We've been able to successfully see debates organized in Canada for years. As far as I know, in all other democracies in the world that I'm aware of, they've been organized without government involvement.
It seems as though trying to involve the government in more and more things is typical of your government. Getting involved in pretty much every facet of Canadians' lives is the approach this government is taking, including the idea of debates in a federal election now, but government involvement always ends up meaning more money coming out of taxpayers' pockets in one way or the other.
I'm wondering if you've given any thought at this point to what the cost would be to taxpayers. I know you haven't fully developed your proposal, but you obviously have been giving some thought to this. You would have hopefully thought about the cost to taxpayers. Do you have any idea of what the cost would be to set something like this up, and what the cost would be to fund it annually?
Ce n'est pas le souvenir que j'en ai.
Passons à la question que je voulais vous poser concernant la proposition d'aujourd'hui. Des débats sont organisés sans problème au Canada depuis bon nombre d'années déjà. À ma connaissance, de tels débats se tiennent dans toutes les autres démocraties du monde sans que le gouvernement ait un rôle à jouer.
J'ai l'impression que votre gouvernement cherche sans cesse à faire intervenir les instances gouvernementales dans un nombre croissant de dossiers. Vous semblez avoir pour objectif de vous mêler de toutes les facettes de la vie des Canadiens, en incluant désormais l'organisation des débats pour les élections fédérales. Chaque fois que l'on trouve ainsi de nouveaux rôles pour le gouvernement, on va chercher plus d'argent dans les poches des contribuables d'une manière ou d'une autre.
Je me demandais si vous aviez déjà réfléchi aux coûts que cette proposition pourrait engendrer pour les contribuables. Je sais bien que votre proposition n'est pas définie dans ses moindres détails, mais vous avez certes réfléchi à la question des coûts. C'est du moins ce que j'ose espérer. Avez-vous une idée des sommes à investir pour créer une instance semblable et des coûts qui s'ensuivraient pour son financement annuel?

—have you thought about what it would cost? What's the cost going to be for taxpayers to set something like this up?
... avez-vous songé aux coûts que cela entraînerait? Combien les contribuables devront-ils payer pour la création d'un commissariat semblable?
