Madam Speaker, I have listened to a lot of Conservative speeches over the last number of weeks. I certainly understand Parliament's role in this, and I support it. I think that role of Parliament, to send for papers, is a very clearly outlined power in our Constitution, and I know it is separate and apart from the RCMP.
What does my hon. colleague want to do if Parliament comes into possession of these documents? I ask because the RCMP has said it does have some concerns with this process. Does my colleague not want to get to a part where, potentially, the procedure and House affairs committee could have the RCMP come to the committee so Conservative members could ask the RCMP about the next steps it wants to take with these documents?
We cannot get to that critical step until the Conservatives stop filibustering their own motion and we get to the action stage. I support getting these documents, but at some point we want to get to a part where Parliament is acting instead of talking.
