Mr. Speaker, I am not a lawyer, but the member opposite is. Having said that, I think of how Annette Verschuren was an appointment of Stephen Harper and an adviser to Brian Mulroney. She was appointed indirectly as the chair of SDTC; she is no longer the chair. If she goes to court, as we all believe that she ultimately will, and we do the work the RCMP has indicated to the House that it is not comfortable with, could we be compromising the trial? In terms of what the Conservatives are calling for, we could collect information inappropriately and hand it over to the RCMP. The defence lawyer for Annette, for example, would be able to cite that, which could cause problems in terms of issues related to the charter.
Putting on his lawyer hat, does he believe there is any merit to that whatsoever?
