Mr. Speaker, what I find most alarming about what I just heard was the member for Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo, a former prosecutor, heckling “How? How?” when the member from Scarborough was trying inform people about why there might be improperly gathered evidence.
He is absolutely correct, but we do not need to take this from the member from Scarborough or from myself. Listen to the RCMP, which is saying that. Listen to the Speaker's ruling, which is saying that. Listen to the countless experts who are saying the exact same thing, which is that the RCMP has an opportunity to get the information, that it knows how to collect evidence and that it does not need Parliament telling it how to collect evidence or what evidence it should be gathering.
The RCMP is very capable of doing its job. It knows what to do and how to do it. It is very effective at it. The RCMP certainly does not need the member for Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo, the member for Calgary Rocky Ridge or the entire Conservative caucus leading the investigation for it. The RCMP knows what it is doing, and I have great confidence in the RCMP. I would hope my Conservative colleagues would feel the same way.
