Madam Speaker, I listened intently to the speech by my colleague, the member for Bay of Quinte, and he touched on all the key points. I would like him to elaborate a little more, if he could, on the claim that there is only one way for the police to start an investigation, as the government House leader likes to look at the bottom half of the Speaker's ruling and not the top half. The Speaker ruled that there is a prima facie case of a breach of privilege.
What that means, for people at home, is that the documents the House requested have not been provided. Charles I lost his head as King of England over the issue of defying the House. I am not saying that this is what should happen to the Liberals, but the fact is that the Crown is defying the House order, and Liberals have been found in breach of that, essentially in contempt of the House.
Would the member comment on why they think that is the only way the police can go? If we were an employer, like I know that member was, we would have turned over the documents to the police, would we not?
