Mr. Speaker, it is important to correct some of the misinformation being provided by members opposite. To try to give the false impression that the government does not care about tax dollars is simply wrong.
We have had direct ministerial involvement in resolving the issue, and we have not seen resistance at the committee stage, where we have seen even more accountability on the issue. We are working co-operatively with the Auditor General of Canada in regard to this.
What we are really dealing with today from the Speaker's ruling is the blurring between parliamentary supremacy and judicial independence. The Conservative Party of Canada believes that it can take any file, get information from it and hand it directly to the police, negating any responsibilities to the charter. Does the member have any issue with taking that kind of responsibility?
