Madam Speaker, the member for Battle River—Crowfoot is entirely right. This is unprecedented. It is unprecedented because of the degree to which and the lengths this government will go to obstruct a clear and unambiguous order of the House for the government to turn over the documents. However, this is part of a pattern, as the member alluded to, because there have been other bad precedents set by this government, also in the context of defying the will of Parliament.
This is a Prime Minister who went so far as to take the Speaker of the House of Commons to court to try to hide documents that Parliament and the Speaker had ordered with respect to the major national security breach at the Winnipeg lab. Yes, this is all the more reason why Thursday's opposition day motion cannot come soon enough, and why we need to vote non-confidence in this government and get on with a carbon tax election.
