Mr. Speaker, the Information Commissioner of Canada, Suzanne Legault, has taken the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness to court over the RCMP's illegal destruction of data. This is a serious matter.
It appears that the minister's office pressured the RCMP to violate the Access to Information Act by destroying the data prematurely.
Will the minister be transparent and tell us whether his office pressured the RCMP to destroy the data before the law took effect?
