Mr. Chair, I believe the member is referring to the motion in the House that is, I think, being voted on later on today.
In my view, including my office in that motion was unnecessary. I made it clear last week that I would co-operate with the RCMP if they felt it necessary to come to my office and ask for information. We have a well-established procedure that has worked effectively in the past, which includes their providing me with a production order should they want to have access to my files. I believe the motion does impede my independence, in that I don't need to go through the law clerk. I have a proven track record that I am co-operative with and supportive of parliamentarians, and that I would co-operate very swiftly with the RCMP if the need arose.
