Mr. Speaker, I thank our newer member of Parliament for his speech. He was recently elected in a by-election and has been very insightful. He has clearly done his research and looked at the documents.
We hear tripe, and it really is tripe, from the Liberal House leader and the Liberal members of Parliament about the RCMP. They say that only the RCMP can ask for documents, but the RCMP is interested in receiving these documents. Why? At the justice committee, Deputy Commissioner Mark Flynn of the RCMP was asked if he would look at the documents if they came from the House of Commons by order, and here is what he said: “I can say that any information that comes to the RCMP will go through the appropriate level of review, using the appropriate resources to do so.” He did not say it would interfere with the investigation.
Would the best way to avoid having Liberal cronies funnel $400 million of taxpayer money to their own companies not be to appoint people to public positions who are not conflicted before they are even on the board?
