Madam Speaker, I want to get my hon. colleague's comments on an analogous situation. On October 26 in the House of Commons, members, also by majority, passed a motion requiring the government to produce documents to the health committee and it prescribed the process for doing that. The government had to produce unredacted documents to the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel, who would then redact those documents in accordance with prescribed criteria listed in that House order. The documents were to be delivered no later than December 7.
The Liberals said they had over a million documents. Here we are in June, the health committee has received about 8,500 documents, 990,000 undelivered, and the government has chosen not to send those documents to the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel in some cases and has redacted those documents in violation and with criteria beyond what the House ordered.
Does my hon. colleague see a parallel or similarity in the contempt that the Liberal government is showing Parliament and does he think that it is violating the very important concept of supremacy of Parliament?
