Okay. You're saying that there was no mention of cancellation. All right. I just thought that would be interesting.
Mr. Chair, I would like to move the following motion:

(a) to the Canada Infrastructure Bank and British Columbia Ferry Services Inc. to produce the complete bond purchase agreement, entered into between those two entities on Friday, March 28, 2025, and which is disclosed on page 5 of BC Ferries' Management's Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Financial Performance, published on Thursday, June 12, 2025;

If you really want me to, Mr. Chair, I will do it en français as well, but I do believe that by this point we have emailed it in. We also have copies, so that all members can take a look at it.
I hope you find it in order. I'm happy to start by speaking to it once you find it in order.
