Mr. Speaker, it is obvious the hon. member thinks he is on to something here, which might be his first argument against Bill C-33. We would think for a party that speaks so much about firearms it would know the difference between finding a smoking gun and shooting blanks.
The hon. member should know the protected document that was taken from my files refers to a discussion paper enabling the government to participate in tribunals and before courts in which there are claims for same sex benefits under federal programs.
As Minister of Justice I am obligated to defend those claims on behalf of the government and I would expect to find in my office a paper that discusses just how I will defend them. That is what the document is about.
