Mr Speaker, I have a further question to you. It goes to the heart of the parliament’s role in providing oversight of the government. All of us who were in here saw what happened. My question to you is: is it appropriate for any minister, and especially the Prime Minister, to scurry from the chamber when any member is asking for a document to be tabled?
