Madam Speaker, I enjoyed the play-by-play by the hon. member. His eloquence sets the bar very high in this place. I enjoyed, in particular, listening to him speak about his friend Reg, an extraordinary Canadian. In fact, it was by far the most edifying thing I have heard in the House in the last four weeks.
Reg and others fought for democratic principles, and one of those principles is the separation of the political from the institutions of law enforcement. Why are the Conservatives seeking to compromise that principle by insisting on foisting upon the RCMP documents it does not want? The RCMP is telling the Conservatives to stay away from it and let it do its work.
