Madam Speaker, one of the primary responsibilities of Parliament is to hold the government to account. That is exactly what we did as the loyal opposition of His Royal Highness, working together with the other opposition parties, when we passed an order of the House compelling the government to produce documents relating to its most recent scandal, the green slush fund.
Just a little while ago we heard from the parliamentary secretary to the government House leader that, in his opinion, the government does not have to comply with an order it does not like or agree with. Therefore I would like to ask my hon. colleague, the member for Stormont—Dundas—South Glengarry, whether he could comment on the future of parliamentary democracy in Canada if the current government stays in power for much longer.
