Madam Speaker, when SDTC messed up and the government was made aware of it, the government took serious actions, everything from replacement of the board to internal reviews. We have had a national auditor. We have had endless hours of debate within standing committee. Also, we have provided assurances that the taxpayer will, in fact, receive accountability on the issue.
If we take a look at the motion, what they are saying is they want to grab information, even though we have provided information. The problem the Conservatives have, they say, is that parts of it are redacted. This is just like information from every other government, including Stephen Harper's, that provides redacted documents, but that is not good enough.
They want to grab everything, all the details, and hand it directly over to the RCMP. The RCMP as an institution has said that makes it uncomfortable. However, the Conservative Party still believes, for its political gain, that it will push this issue and attach the word “corruption”, even though the chair of the committee was an adviser to Brian Mulroney, to Stephen Harper and also to Jim Flaherty.
Does the member not see some possible hypocrisy?
