Madam Speaker, I have a lot of respect for the member opposite and 20 years' service is absolutely incredible in this House. I take him at his word that he did not want to waste his time and ours this afternoon with that speech, but we did hear it.
I have a quote from the commissioner of the RCMP that I would like to read to the member opposite. He said:
...the RCMP's ability to receive and use information obtained through this production order and under the compulsory powers afforded by the Auditor General Act in the course of a criminal investigation could give rise to concerns under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It is therefore highly unlikely that any information obtained by the RCMP under the Motion where privacy interests [exist] could be used to support a criminal prosecution or further a criminal investigation.
There is significant risk that the motion could be interpreted as a circumvention of normal investigative processes and Charter protections.
Again, I have a lot of respect for the member opposite, but I would like him to comment on the commissioner of the RCMP's words.
