Madam Speaker, one of the most important parts to what is missing here is that the government should just operate in an ethical manner. We have seen this happen over and over again. This is not the first time the House has requested documents. It is not the first time the House has been blocked after a request for the production of documents. I am sure the member has been at committees, as it has happened multiple times, where the committee has tried to get documents but does not get them, or, if the committee does get them, they have writing on them with a black sharpie marker that goes straight across, etching them out.
Transparency, honesty and ethical accountability need to begin and end with the government. It needs to respect the will and supremacy of Parliament.
