Mr. Speaker, the motion that was defeated this morning was not the one that was just mentioned by the minister. The motion was asking that “all documents pertaining to those briefings, including briefing books, notes, memos and agenda items, daytimers, et cetera be tabled and made available to the committee for examination in these deliberations”. That motion was defeated unanimously by Liberals in committee.
I want to know from the Prime Minister either one of two things is true: either the committee members are involved in a cover-up, or they are completely disobeying the Prime Minister's supposed request to get to the bottom of this scandal. Why is he failing to instruct his own members to get to the bottom of this scandal? Why is he doing it?
