Mr. Speaker, my comments are very clear. I stand by what I say both in this House and outside of this House.
The issue is when members of Parliament in trying to execute their duties as members of Parliament ask legitimate questions of the government about matters of deep concern to the country, matters that are well reported, are sued by individuals who try to do indirectly what they cannot do directly, to try to intimidate individuals into not asking legitimate, fair questions on matters of fact, in my opinion, that is a serious attack upon the privileges of members of Parliament.
I believe the courts are being abused and used to try to stifle the abilities of members of Parliament to ask questions.
