Madam Speaker, I certainly thank the member for her accountability with respect to what this place is.
The government would love us to think that this is a debate about some documents or a committee, and that, as the member just stated, we are delaying documents' going to a committee. In fact the debate is all about privilege and the fact that the power of the House is absolute. When the House, which stands for the people, demands documents and the government says no, when the opposition parties, not just the Conservatives but also the NDP and the Bloc, ask for documents and the Liberal government says no, that is a defiance of the people and of the absolute power of this place.
Does the member believe that just sending the issue to committee, as the government wants, is going to be a really good testament to the power and the privilege that are before us here?
