Mr. Speaker, there is a qualitative difference between providing documents for the purposes of Parliament and providing documents for the purposes of prosecution. The second we cross that line, we need to impose the protections that the charter provides. That is what that document represents. Most Canadians get behind that document, save for my Conservative colleagues.
The reason why the safeguards are important is because they protect things like privacy and our freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, again, fundamental precepts that the member knows full well because he used to practise in this area. I just wish he could educate his colleagues about why we need to safeguard important charter rights.
