Mr. Speaker, the RCMP does not seek the permission nor does it give any notice to members of the cabinet or any member of the House prior to conducting its work. In this case no notice was given and no consent was sought.
The RCMP is doing its job. I would suggest to the former right hon. gentleman that we let it do its job.
