Madam Speaker, I have to say that I am a little taken aback by the comments made by the parliamentary secretary. I happen to have some respect for him. I know that he is a lawyer. In that regard, I am taken aback that he does not seem to see what has happened here.
We have a director of public prosecutions who made a decision that it was inappropriate, having regard for the factors in the Criminal Code, to enter into a deferred prosecution agreement. A notice was sent to the former attorney general. She looked at the issues. She looked at the law, and she made the decision that the decision of the director of public prosecutions was the correct one and decided not to intervene. What happened from there was a concerted effort on the part of the Prime Minister to obstruct justice. That is the issue. That is corruption. That is breaking the law, and people do not get to do that in this country, because we are a country based upon the rule of law, something the Prime Minister clearly does not respect.
