Madam Speaker, my concern is the government's defiance of the absolute power of this place. The power of the House of Commons trumps anything else the government wants to create as a distraction. Why are we in a question of privilege? The government could have ended the debate a couple of days ago.
We are here today because all of the parties are united in the fact that this place, Parliament, on behalf of the people, has the absolute authority to ask the government for accountability and to demand that it gets the documents it required and demanded from the government. The government's defiance of that is a defiance of democracy, transparency and accountability.
