Mr. Speaker, to hear that we will finally be able to make the use of wood a priority is music to my ears. I was around during the forestry crisis in Quebec back in the 2000s. After the decision to go green, it became clear how little information about the use of wood had reached insurers, schools and future engineers and architects. Quebec has had a proven track record for more than a decade. In my colleague's opinion, is it not high time Canada passed this bill?

Mr. Speaker, according to rapporteur David Johnston, Chinese interference is everyone's fault. Yes, it is the fault of the media, CSIS and officials. In short, it is everyone's fault except that of China and, above all, that of the government. Seriously, the government wants an inquiry into Chinese interference that does not talk about China's interference or about the Liberals, who were the targets. No one will accept such a charade. When will there be an independent public commission of inquiry?

Mr. Speaker, it is incredible what the government would have us swallow if we were to accept Mr. Johnston's findings. The investigation into Chinese interference would not be about interference, simply about the bureaucratic process. David Johnston, the man chosen by the Prime Minister, would be at the helm to the very end. Furthermore, his findings would only be disclosed behind closed doors to people who would then be sworn to secrecy for the rest of their lives. That is ridiculous. If that is not an attempt to obfuscate, what is it?
