The Liberal member who just spoke is not going to support this bill and it really puzzles me why a member of the government, not just a member of the House, would stand up in this place, look the Canadian public in the eye by way of the television camera and say ''I will not support your having access to information about how we spend your tax dollars''.

Can we draw the following conclusion?
Government spending, and transparency of the process, is a core issue for most Canadian citizens.
It's impossible to say
