Madam Speaker, for a month now, we have been given different arguments on why we cannot receive the documents. We are told that the RCMP has concerns about politicians interfering in the judicial branch. However, we are not ordering it to conduct an investigation. We are possibly providing it with potential evidence. Now we are being told that there is no search warrant. If someone has potential evidence of a crime and keeps it to themselves, they are an accomplice to that crime. A search warrant is not required for submitting potential evidence.
I would like my colleague to elaborate on these two subtle legal points. What are these new arguments all about?
