Mr. Speaker, he asked a question for almost two minutes, so I am going to take some time to answer.
The government has a responsibility to turn over evidence. If it is acting as the accused, the police could get an order to obtain the evidence from the House of Commons. That is not unreasonable. That, in my opinion, would taint no one's charter. It would not taint an investigation. It would not lead to an illegal precedent that would not allow someone to have a fair prosecution of a case, unless, of course, it is the government and members in the government who are at fault.
If the documents continue to be withheld, it would lead me to believe that there is someone in government who has a lot to hide, and they had better get themselves a good lawyer.
