Madam Speaker, I would say it is the latter. The government simply refuses to listen to the House, even though a majority of members voted to have these documents handed over to the House and then forwarded to the RCMP. It is simple. Even the Speaker ruled that the government was in the wrong when it failed to provide all the documents.
We have seen this all before. It is nothing new for this government. The Liberal Party's sponsorship scandal was the first time I realized that corruption was normal for this government, at the time. Now, it is SDTC.
I agree with the member. In this case, however, I think the latter option is correct: It is this government's failure to be accountable by refusing to listen to the House and the people of Canada.
