Thank you.
My question is to Mr. Wild in his capacity as senior counsel, legal services, for the Treasury Board portfolio.
Mr. Wild, I'm confident that no legislation is tabled in the House without the Attorney General or his delegates having reviewed it for constitutionality and general lawfulness, or non-contravention of other statutes. As a member of Parliament, I'm asking for any written opinion that may have been provided on Bill C-2 to the government.
As we know, the Attorney General of Canada is not only the chief legal adviser to cabinet and the executive, but as law officer of the crown, he is also the counsel for Parliament. In that capacity, and given our responsibilities here, it is very important for us to be assured by receiving a copy of that opinion.
