Mr. Speaker, I agree very much with my hon. colleague that the misspending and conflicts of interest at SDTC should be of concern to every parliamentarian. I agree very much that there should be accountability and that the government should disclose the documents.
My understanding is that, in his ruling, the Speaker ordered that this matter be referred to PROC, and then this House passed a motion asking that the government send documents directly to the RCMP. I understand some 29,000 pages of documents did go to the RCMP, albeit redacted.
The RCMP officers have stated that they are unwilling or uncomfortable receiving more documents, for various reasons. I am just wondering what my hon. colleague's response to that is. Does he think that the RCMP should receive documents that the officers say they do not want and that might compromise their investigation?
