Mr. Speaker, every time I meet a Conservative, I have to search for some semblance of reason. When we talk about what is going on here, let us think about why your ruling said to send it back to the committees. Your ruling said that because this has never been done. What happens normally when we ask for documents in law enforcement? We go to a court of law. We do not go into a partisan arena, such as the House of Commons, because a court of law, a judge, weighs things called charter interests, like the expectation of privacy, like the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure. Those are important considerations. We will stand by them every time.
In the House of Commons on October 8th, 2024. See this statement in context.
