Madam Speaker, I was actually looking forward to the speech by this member. In my view, he has much knowledge of the constitutional aspects and of how the House of Commons should operate. However, I was surprised to find that, while a portion of his speech was about SDTC itself, quite a large portion, the bulk of his speech, was about firestorms. I did gain some knowledge from his observation on firestorms.
The member obviously knows that, under our system of government, the legislative, the judiciary and the executive have their own responsibilities and powers. The RCMP has written to the law clerk of the House of Commons to say that it cannot use these documents for its investigations.
Does anything prevent the RCMP from getting any records on its own through a proper legal process?
