Mr. Speaker, the government has all sorts of excuses for why it will not provide documents to the House or to the RCMP about the $400-million spending scandal. The Liberals falsely claim it would violate privacy, that it would negatively impact the RCMP's investigation and that it would violate charter rights. The Constitution is clear: Parliament is supreme and Parliament has the lawful authority to order the production of documents.
Why is the government consistently trampling on the constitutional authority of this House?
