Madam Speaker, we just heard that other committees were trying to receive information from the government and they failed to get it. We now have a clear ruling from the Speaker. The government's response, in this case, was to send the documents to NSICOP, which we argued was not a committee of the House and answers to the Prime Minister. The Speaker concluded that committee exists outside of Parliament and that the documents submitted to it does not fulfill the order of the House.
Is he satisfied that this is so, that this is the first opportunity we have had to get the government to recognize and fulfill an order of a committee for documents, now made by the House, and that this is the time for the government to comply with these orders and produce the documents?
