That would be undemocratic.
I think on the corruption front, it needs to be major fines, like 6 figures minimum to the MP's and including the party or government that can't be expenses to the tax payers.
Also any corruption or ethics committee investigation should also automatically trigger a investigation by the RCMP that includes the seizing of records and computers.
In fact, I think that a automatic RCMP investigation should happen before a committee investigation.
