Mr. Speaker, I will leave it to the member for South Surrey—White Rock—Langley to get a hold of you and go through Hansard . I think that is a poor way overall for this to be handled. Suffice it to say that the points the House leader brought up were covered in the documentation, most of which the hon. member gave to the Speaker some time ago.
The hon. member is not protesting the fact that it was private litigation against her. She has never said that there is anything wrong with that, nor should there be. She is not saying that CSIS was able to collect information that was classified or top secret. What the hon. member is saying is that after they got the information together, people at CSIS gave to the plaintiff in a private law suit help. That information was given to this private individual to conduct a private law suit. In other words, people at CSIS helped another individual. They collected newspaper articles. They collected clippings from newscasts. They collected all of this and then, unsolicited, gave it to a plaintiff in a private law suit.
Further, after that the CSIS lawyer was in contact with a private lawyer to a private litigant, the plaintiff in a private case, to help them with their case.
Mr. Speaker, I do not know where the House leader is coming from, but what he is trying to argue does not jibe at all with the facts that the hon. member for South Surrey—White Rock—Langley gave you late last week.
