Mr. Speaker, the fact is that the House can vote on this question of privilege, but the government still can refuse to hand over the documents. I would argue it cannot legally or constitutionally, but what we have seen in every other case is that it will still refuse to hand over the documents. This is why it is critically important for us to take this stand and tell the government that, at this critical point, the corruption must come to an end and the documents must be handed over. When the documents are handed over, then this whole discussion ends.
Fundamentally, it is not about a vote; it is about getting the government to hand over the documents. The NDP has a choice in it. Will its members stand with us in insisting that the corrupt government hand over the documents and be transparent or will they facilitate a way out for it, whereby it will avoid handing over the documents? This is the question before the House.
I wonder if the member can reflect on just how critical this point is and the steps we need to take to fight back against Liberal corruption once and for all.
