Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister claimed yesterday in question period that the laws of the land prevent him from releasing documents to Justice Krever. That is simply not the case. The office of the information commissioner says that the Canada Evidence Act does not stand in the Prime Minister's way.
Michael Pitfield, a former clerk of the privy council, says that the cabinet can release whatever it wants to release.
Perhaps I will ask the Minister of Health. Why is the Prime Minister choosing not to release these 30 documents that Justice Krever is asking for?
