Thank you very much.
There's another report here that's new and wasn't listed elsewhere. In 1998-99, how was the choice made? My understanding of this report is that it talks about how the person was able to make the choice, based on advice provided. It talks about the importance and relevance of confidentiality to the minister on certain topics—of course not on everything—to help him or her make the right choice for Canada and present that.
The issue in this case is the Afghanistan report that is up for discussion and referenced in this motion. It may or may not have information or advice that would affect the choices of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. It's not just the minister; often deputy ministers and other senior people look at these reports, study them, understand what the issues are, and then make advice based on this report to the minister. I haven't been a minister, but that is my understanding of where things go.
