Mr. Speaker, I did not hear any sections of the charter cited for the parliamentary secretary's attempt to obstruct a parliamentary investigation into corruption in his own government. However, the documents exist and they belong to the Government of Canada. Therefore, if the parliamentary secretary is saying that what is required is a warrant by the police to kick in the office doors of cabinet ministers and the Prime Minister and parliamentary secretaries to get the truth for Canadians, we do not need to do that because the House has ordered the production of documents.
The member talks about what is legal. The legal authority rests with this place, and is unfettered, to send for people and papers. The requirement for those papers is very simple. They need to exist and they need to be inside Canada. If they belong to the government, we can get them. If they belong to a private corporation or a private citizen, we can get them.
Is it in the public interest that we do this? Absolutely, it is. It is hundreds of millions of dollars of corruption that the member for Winnipeg North has allowed to happen under the current Prime Minister, the only prime minister in Canadian history who has been found guilty of breaking the law, and that is the legacy after nine years of the NDP-Liberals. We make no apologies for getting the truth for Canadians about the government that has allowed the theft of Canadians' tax dollars to help out Liberal insiders. We are going to fight tirelessly to get accountability for Canadians, and we are not going to make any apologies for it.
