Mr. Chair, the point that I wish to make was touched on in some detail by Mr. Ehsassi. I'll summarize what I had to say very quickly, because he said it much better than I could.
While a leak of a confidential process is disturbing, it absolutely isn't unprecedented. I was a member of this committee in 2014, when we went through the botched appointment of Justice Nadon. The justice minister of the day, Peter MacKay, came before the committee on estimates and talked about it. He talked about it in question period.
There was no shock. There was no outrage. There was no investigation. There were no emergency meetings. There was no interest on the part of the Attorney General to take the matter further. What happened when the Conservatives were in a position where there was a leak of a confidential process was that they took parliamentarians out of the process.
Is it shocking? Yes. Is it unprecedented? No.
I will be voting against it.
