Mr. Speaker, first of all, this is completely inaccurate.
No investigator ever came to my office with any request whatsoever. I categorically deny it.
This is a tempest in a teapot. The whole thing is absolutely clear and transparent. The files were given to the journalists as requested. The opposition is saying my office held them up. The files were in my office for 12 working days.
Also, the opposition is saying that my office delayed them because I did not want this to come up during the debate in the House. The debate took place in early February, and the file arrived in my office on March 24.
