Madam Speaker, the RCMP commissioner has spoken often to the Canadian public, so I am sure the member is aware as well. The commissioner was on CTV News and confirmed that there is an investigation going on. He confirmed that he has received the first load of documents from the chamber and that the RCMP has not looked at them.
When asked why the RCMP did not look at them, he said that we have charter rights, that there are processes within this country and that the way it obtains the materials actually matters. The following question was posed to the commissioner: If the RCMP received more documents, would it look at them? He basically said that it needs to look at what information it has first, and it has to look at the way that the documents are being obtained.
Does the member agree that charter rights should be respected when documents are being obtained? Does he believe that we should be focused on Canadians and on ensuring that we do protect their rights and freedoms?
