RCMP Commissioner Michael Duheme, right, RCMP Assistant Commissioner Brigitte Gauvin and RCMP Deputy Commissioner Mark Flynn speak to reporters after testifying at the Foreign Interference Commission in Ottawa on Thursday, Oct. 3, 2024. The RCMP says it already has the documents at the centre of a debate that has brought government business in the House of Commons to a halt.
"We did receive the documents and there is an investigation ongoing, so I will limit my comments to that," Duheme said when asked about the debate in the House. In June, the federal government abolished a $1 billion green fund in response to a report by the auditor general that pointed to "significant lapses" in its handling of federal funding.
Government House leader Karina Gould called the request for the documents an abuse of Parliament's power and claimed it tramples on the Charter rights of Canadians."Conservative members of Parliament are here for their own political, personal objectives and they don't care what they do to Canadians in the meantime, and that is something that should be extremely alarming to all of us."Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer disputed that claim.
