Mr. Speaker, as it relates to this issue, if members want to be credible, they have to be responsible too. On this particular issue, the reality is that the responsible thing is to send this matter to PROC so that PROC can look at it.
The Conservatives continually demand that documents should be released for everybody to see. When it comes to these documents, we have heard from the Auditor General and the commissioner of the RCMP. They say that this is not the right way to distribute information. They do not need Parliament to get in the way and tell them what evidence they need. They have the ability, the authority and, if necessary, the courts to obtain that information.
Yes, it is very important to be responsible, and responsibility is incredibly necessary if members want to be credible. Unfortunately, the Bloc and the NDP have found themselves in a weird predicament. They supported this last spring, but they are now probably starting to have second thoughts, thinking that perhaps they should not have acted the way they did.
