Madam Speaker, the member opposite actually used the RCMP as a source to reference in making his speech. Members might allow me to do the same. Regarding the documents that the Conservative Party wants us to give directly to the RCMP, the RCMP commissioner responded, “There is significant risk that the Motion could be interpreted as a circumvention of normal investigative processes and Charter protections.” That is coming from the RCMP. We also have the Auditor General and other legal experts.
Let us realize what the Conservatives are asking the government to do. They are saying to disregard what the RCMP, the Auditor General of Canada and the other legal experts are saying and, by the way, listen to the all-hailed leader of the Conservative Party, who has a self-interest in this issue. They want us to believe the Conservatives. I refuse to do so. I will listen to the RCMP, the Auditor General and other legal experts.
Why will the member not do likewise and reinforce that those are the institutions that we should at least be listening to regarding the motion?
