Mr. Speaker, my interest is the constitutional aspects of what is happening today. The RCMP and the Auditor General have expressed concerns about the blurring of the line in the separation of powers between the different branches of the government.
The hon. colleague is a lawyer by profession, if I am not wrong. With his legal background, can he tell us what our law enforcement agencies, like the RCMP, can do if they think they need a particular document? Is there anything that bars them from getting access to the document through a legal process?
