Madam Speaker, the RCMP can refuse or take the documents. It is no different than any other investigation. It is absolutely false to say the RCMP has said it does not want the documents. Of course it wants any document that adheres to this investigation. The only one stopping that is the government. Also, if the RCMP says that it is not going to use them, why is the government not giving up the documents? What are we holding them back for?
To go back to the original premise of this, the power of the House is absolute and goes over any of the rights the RCMP has. This is the people's House. The documents have been requested from the people's House, and the government needs to give up the documents on behalf of the people.
