OTTAWA House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota says the Trudeau government has not complied with an order to produce unredacted documents related to the firing of two scientists from Canada’s highest security laboratory.
In a ruling Wednesday, Rota confirms, as opposition parties have contended, that the Commons and its committees have an unlimited power to order the production of any documents they please, even those with national security implications.
Citing national security concerns, the minority Liberal government has refused multiple times to provide the unredacted documents to the special Commons committee on Canada-China relations.
