Mr. Speaker, my colleague is right: Parliament is supreme, and that is the issue here.
We have had department after department come before committee, both in operations committee on the McKinsey scandal and this one. Unelected officials have come to tell us that Parliament is not supreme and that they do not have to obey the law.
We had the PCO, the Privy Council Office, tell us that the information act and the Privacy Act supersede the Constitution and Parliament. We had other departments come and actually lie to committee about why they would not turn over documents. If they are not going to turn over documents and obey the law here, what else are they going to violate the law on?
