Contempt of Parliament

I forgot to change the channel after question period on CPAC, and what did I hear?

Scott Reid, stood up on a point of privilege and charged that Holland and Jennings were in "contempt of Parliament", because of the documents they had "found", and kept for over a year. MP Reid, stated that at least one box had a label that clearly stated that it was to have been moved, but it never made it.

Most importantly, he stated that those boxes contained personal information about him and other Conservative employees, and he had no assurance that during an election, information might not come out on an MP or one of their employees, because the Liberals had kept some of the documents to use, as they stated in the paper that they had done.

Speaker Milliken, stated that he had seen a picture of the transfer of boxes, and that he would need more information before making a ruling. He stated that both Holland and Jennings needed to state their case.

This is indeed serious, and could lead to searches of Liberal offices, for the documents, they themselves stated that they had held back.
