Mr. Speaker, let us be clear about two things. In terms of a criminal prosecution, the way it normally unfolds is that the police seek a search warrant from a judge and the judge evaluates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the charter interests at stake in getting documents, something about which that party cares not. Second, we have a fundamental premise called police independence. We safeguard it in Canada. Who does not safeguard it? It is authoritarian regimes. I guess the Leader of the Opposition and his minions are sharing their blatant favouritism toward authoritarian tactics in this House.
