Madam Speaker, we cannot be in contempt of Parliament when the majority of the Parliament wants access to these documents. It is really nice that the member quotes The Hill Times, but how about thinking about the largest circulated publication, The Globe and Mail, that says that Parliament has an ability to get these documents, that it has a right to get these documents and that it should not stop until we get those documents? It is the business of the House to find out where $400 million have gone. The parliamentary secretary says that we should not be using this power. For what purpose then would he want to use this power if not to find out what happened to $400 million?
In the House of Commons on November 25th, 2024. See this statement in context.
