Madam Speaker, I am honoured to serve in the House of Commons and have done so for the last five years. The thing we know and Canadians know is that Parliament reigns supreme. When Parliament speaks, it has the right to order persons and papers. In this case, it is the production of documents. We have the right and have exercised that right. Multiple parties have voted in favour of doing it. The Speaker has ruled that the Liberals are in contempt for ignoring that.
At the end of the day, the thing that matters the most is that the Liberals have lost the trust of Canadians after nine years and multiple scandals. It should be common sense that the RCMP should have all the documents, unredacted, for a full criminal investigation. The Liberals have used, for the last two months, every excuse in the book and have failed miserably. They should be open by default, give transparency and, for once, own up for their own corruption and waste.
