Mr. Speaker, the NDP supports the position that the privileges of the House have indeed been challenged by the behaviour of the minister.
The situation with respect to the transfer of detainees has now turned into a circus. We must call on the government to deal with this situation.
When we have a situation where questions are asked on a specific topic in the House of Commons and only two or three hours later, down the hall in a committee room, we have a minister giving information that is clearly contrary to what happened in the House, every Canadian and every parliamentarian needs to be asking what is going on.
We support the challenge put before the government to respond. We believe that the privileges of not only the House, but of Canadians, are being violated here. We support the call for such a ruling.
