Remember Remember The 10th Of December

"That, given the undisputed privileges of Parliament under Canada’s constitution...the House hereby orders that these documents be produced in their original and uncensored form forthwith." This is an Order of Parliament, defied by the hence illegitimate authoritarian Harper Con Govt. Never forget what's at stake, what we're fighting against, and what we're fighting for. Here and below.

That, given the undisputed privileges of Parliament under Canada’s constitution, including the absolute power to require the government to produce uncensored documents when requested, and given the reality that the government has violated the rights of Parliament by invoking the Canada Evidence Act to censor documents before producing them, the House urgently requires access to the following documents in their original and uncensored form:

all documents referred to in the affidavit of Richard Colvin, dated October 5, 2009;

all documents within the Department of Foreign Affairs written in response to the documents referred to in the affidavit of Richard Colvin, dated October 5, 2009;

all memoranda for information or memoranda for decision sent to the Minister of Foreign Affairs concerning detainees from December 18, 2005 to the present;

all documents produced pursuant to all orders of the Federal Court in Amnesty International Canada and British Columbia Civil Liberties Association v. Chief of the Defence Staff for the Canadian Forces, Minister of National Defence and Attorney General of Canada;

all documents produced to the Military Police Complaints Commission in the Afghanistan Public Interest Hearings;

all annual human rights reports by the Department of Foreign Affairs on Afghanistan;

all documents referred to by the Chief of the Defence Staff in his December 9, 2009 press conference, and all other relevant documents; and

accordingly the House hereby orders that these documents be produced in their original and uncensored form forthwith.
