Mr. Speaker, I have a question for my colleague.
During our former attorney general's testimony, it was clear that she had made a decision based on section 13 notices. As members of Parliament, we do not have access to this notice, but our former attorney general clearly thought it was rational, clear and reasonable.
I do not see how anyone could expect her to act otherwise, given the independence of the attorney general at the Department of Justice. Her main role is to make decisions, and it is also up to her to determine whether it is reasonable.
This evening's debate raises a lot of concerns for me. How can anyone think she should hold broad consultations with Canadians? That is a legal question that falls under the purview of the Department of Justice and its officials.
