Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise on behalf of the official opposition for an important part of the day that all of us look forward to on Thursday afternoon, and that is the Thursday question. I think many Canadians are watching this. It has been two weeks today since the Speaker's ruling that the Liberal government has been found in contempt of Parliament for refusing to turn over all documents pertaining to the $400-million green slush fund. It has ground Parliament to a halt by refusing to adhere to the will of Parliament and to the Speaker's ruling.
We are watching with interest as the government projects the calendar for the next several sitting days, although we have a recess next week. Canadians want to know if, perhaps in the last couple of hours, the Liberals have come to their senses and have realized that they should provide the RCMP with full, unredacted access to all documents as ordered by Parliament, so we can get back to business.
Have they finally agreed to get back to work and get the RCMP the information it deserves to have?
