Madam Speaker, I continue to hear the words “obstruction of justice” and “illegality” in the comments coming from the opposition, and this is based on the testimony of the former attorney general. However, her testimony was very clear. I will cite it exactly. She said, “In my opinion, it's not illegal.” She does say, “It is very inappropriate.”
I come to the House every day at two o'clock for question period, not because I want to but because I am forced to by our whip. I find all of the behaviour here very inappropriate, although not illegal. We all find some things appropriate and other things inappropriate.
My question is simple. How can members opposite rely on the testimony of the former attorney general, who is a very smart lady and lawyer, to say that the Liberals have done something illegal, even though she has said that it is not illegal? I want to understand how the members opposite can have it both ways.
