Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague can read the letter sent by the RCMP commissioner to the House of Commons. He said that it will likely be impossible for the RCMP to use them because it is in violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
As the Speaker mentioned in his response to this question of privilege, this is something that is very rare and unusual in the House of Commons. It is unprecedented for the House of Commons to request documents and give them to a third party, without even using them itself.
Conservative members have said they think there is something criminal going on. The RCMP told the House of Commons that they had concluded their investigation and found nothing criminal. It is up to the RCMP, an independent police force, to decide whether it is going to investigate something or not. It is not up to the House.
