Mr. Chair, the Speaker of the House made a clear decision that when it involves documents related to Afghanistan, Parliament was more powerful than the government, which is how it should be in a democracy. It is easy to see what happens in other parts of the world when a government decides it is more powerful than Parliament.
Here, we believe that Parliament is always more powerful than the government, and so we have adopted this resolution to obtain this kind of information. With the communication technologies we have today, the issue has nothing to do with the ability to provide the information, but has to do with the government's desire not to. So the political will is not to provide the information.
We are opposed to that kind of an approach. And that will always be our position regardless of the party in power. I hope that Mr. Brison will also take that position when he is a member of the government, should he live long enough to see that day. We will see.
But, as for today, we support the motion put forward by Mr. Brison and believe it should be adopted immediately.
