Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I think what's disrespectful is a government that continues to defy an order of this committee to turn over documents three months after the deadline has passed. I think that is disrespectful. I think what's disrespectful is a government that has failed to produce documents ordered by the House related to the green slush fund and not only to fail to turn over those documents involving a massive scandal of the misuse of $400 million taxpayer, but also for the government House leader to go on CBC and lie to Canadians, as she did yesterday, that the government was in compliance, when we heard today from the law clerk that no, in fact, the government is not in compliance with the order of the House.
I'll tell you what is not only disrespectful but also quite a bit worse. The Prime Minister, who was briefed that one of his candidates had been assisted by the Beijing regime, turned a blind eye to it, allowed that candidate to stand and kept the voters and Canadians in the dark. It speaks to a Prime Minister who then turns around and lectures the Leader of the Opposition about foreign interference, when he's the one who's compromised and turned a blind eye to foreign interference. It never ceases to amaze me.
