Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon, Minister Menzies.
On February 17, Mr. Page said, "Parliamentarians do not know whether the fiscal planning framework fully reflects the cost pressures generated by changes in crime legislation."
In March, Mr. Milliken said: "…procedural authorities are categorical in repeatedly asserting the powers of the House in ordering the production of documents. No exceptions are made for any category of government documents…"
Mr. Minister, why did you wait for the Speaker of the House to censure the Conservative government, on your government, before producing the documents needed for the proper work of parliamentarians? Why? Can you please explain this to us?
