Madam Speaker, as I mentioned in my speech, our job as legislators, elected by our constituents, is to question the government, to keep an eye on the government, the executive branch, and what it does. Parliament, therefore, does have the power to demand certain documents. That is what the democratically elected representatives here voted for. The government continues to obstruct that.
As I mentioned, democracy is based on trust. The government has repeatedly demonstrated that the people should not trust its work. I laid out scandal after scandal, issue after issue, in my 20-minute speech. That is why Parliament demanded these documents, so that they can be turned over to the RCMP for potential investigation.
