Madam Speaker, I want to congratulate this member on a very good speech that he gave last night while saying goodbye to this House.
With respect, I would disagree that that is such a simple thing to do. The documents have been withheld because of the national security nature of them. Does the member not think that the director of PHAC understands the seriousness of documents being ordered, but still chose to do something outside of that direction? The director did that because of the national security implication. To suggest that it is just as easy to turn them over is a massive, wilful misunderstanding or non-appreciation of the reality of the situation.
