Mr. Speaker, there was shocking news today from the Office of the Information Commissioner of Canada. Someone within the government broke the law.
The RCMP destroyed records, knowing those records were subject to the right of access, guaranteed under the Access to Information Act.
The destruction of government documents is a violation of Canadian law. Who gave the order, or is the Minister of Public Safety himself a co-conspirator in this illegal activity in an agency under his authority?
What has happened here? Why was the law broken?
