I have a question for Mr. Lavoie. I've heard your answer, sir. You keep on bringing up this privacy issue, and this fellow here has said that, well, he can't release stuff because there are privacy issues here.
I'm a member of Parliament, and there are taxpayers and RCMP members who are wondering what in the heck has been going on with the money here. For some people to say they can't inform these people because there are privacy issues involved here....
There are people who may have their finger in the cookie jar or may have carried out acts of misconduct, but their privacy rights are more compelling than the public interest and the right of RCMP members to know what in the world is going on with their money. How do we rationalize this? If your argument is correct and Mr. Gauvin's right, this privacy thing is almost an absolute shield against people finding the truth to wrongdoing.
