I'm going to go now to this issue of documents being sent on to the RCMP. Mr. Erskine-Smith and our witness, the Ethics Commissioner, mentioned this earlier this morning.
If the House of Commons has asked for these documents for this purpose, is it the case that whether it would be a mistake to send them on to the RCMP is of no consequence to you or to others? In legal terms, that's what you've been ordered to do, so you do that. You don't take into account what that might do to subsequent legal actions.
I ask because we've heard from various people who seem to know their stuff that this might not be the best course of action, yet this is what the House has asked for. Is there any legal reason to say that we shouldn't do this, or do you just say that this is what you've been told to do?
