Mr. Speaker, I picked up something from my colleague's speech about the RCMP. There seems to be a lot of confusion in here about what the RCMP actually said. I am wondering about that.
I hold the same view as the Conservatives. I would like to see the documents. I believe in the supremacy of Parliament, and that has been reaffirmed again and again. We always have to stand up for Parliament's right to send for papers. However, given the current impasse and the questions we have over what the RCMP wants, I want to put this to my colleague: Would it not be a prudent measure to get this motion to the procedure and House affairs committee so we can call the RCMP commissioner before the committee to educate MPs on what the proper process is? I ask because if there is anything nefarious in those documents, the last thing we want to do is ruin a potential police investigation.
I am wondering if my colleague has thoughts on the police process and if he is curious about hearing directly from the RCMP commissioner at committee. Maybe the Conservatives could call him forward as a witness.
