Mr. Speaker, I hope they were paying attention. That is the first time we have had a question answered in this House in eight years. The Prime Minister and the public safety minister both said that the RCMP commissioner was the one to answer questions. He was sitting at the table yesterday, and they adjourned the meeting as part of their ongoing cover-up. They blocked him just like the Prime Minister is blocking the release of documents in the criminal investigation concerning him. After eight years of the Prime Minister and his detrimental effect on our democratic institutions, it is clear that he is not worth the cost. To the leader of the NDP, is protecting the Prime Minister from criminal investigations part of the coalition deal?

Mr. Speaker, as the member well knows, committees are in charge of their own business and they make those decisions themselves. If he wants to talk about democratic institutions and criminal investigations, I will remind him that it was a member of the governing Conservatives who was arrested for violating election laws and actually went to jail. The member should be careful as he is casting stones in glass houses.
