If the NDP are the only clean ones here, they should be pushing hard for some daylight on this one.

Yes, absololutely the Cons and Liberals should be holding the bag. This is why a part of me feels that no matter what the committee, they're run by the very parties that should be investigated so there's a taint there.
To me, I do like the mechanisms in the US for investigations. You call in the FBI, you have over site by a senate committee and its all for the most part in the open.
Having the very parties that are being investigate doing the investigations and having the power to fillibuster and deny witnesses and documents feels extremely wrong.
