The reason I'm asking these questions, sir, is that the NDP-Liberal coalition shut down an ethics committee yesterday to prevent the RCMP commissioner from testifying on very important details as to how they legally concluded that they lacked the reasonable and probable grounds to arrest Justin Trudeau for obstruction of justice.
I want to harken back to your legal career, Mr. Conacher, and think about the evidence that Canadians heard, that we as parliamentarians heard, but more importantly, the evidence the RCMP heard. The evidence the RCMP heard was the direct testimony of our former, first-ever indigenous attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould, who kept incredibly detailed notes and also recorded conversations, so I want you to factor that in. Also factor in our former ethics commissioner, Mr. Dion, who concluded that the Prime Minister, with the support of friends, other members of cabinet and the Prime Minister's office, conducted a series of overt direct acts attempting to influence the decision of Jody Wilson-Raybould.
You know, sir, that under the Criminal Code section 139, the actual obstruction need not take place. You could be found guilty with just an attempt. Is that fair?
