Madam Speaker, like the Conservative opposition, the member makes reference to Liberal insiders. I am not sure if he is aware that the board of SDTC was, at the time, chaired by someone who advised both Stephen Harper and Brian Mulroney and provided advice to Jim Flaherty. To say that this is all about Liberal insiders and that is why we are trying to hide something is just not true. The member should at least acknowledge that fact.
We have provided information, albeit redacted, just as former prime ministers and many premiers have done when providing information. At times, there is a need to have redactions. What is different here is that the government is being told by the opposition to contradict what the RCMP and the Auditor General are saying. They are pushing to get information directly so they can hand it straight over to the RCMP. Even the RCMP is questioning that tactic, yet the member opposite tries to give the false impression that we are trying to hide something.
Why will he not be honest with his constituents and tell them that the real reason documents are being held back is the concerns about the Charter of Rights and that this means something to him?
