It is odd, Mr. Chairman, that you are constantly saying that we only have a little time right before I speak. In my paranoia, I get the impression that your comment is directed at me. I will therefore be very quick.
I am sensitive to Mr. Godin's explanations. However, given that we have nothing to hide, we thought we could work in a public session.
I would like to propose a middle-ground solution to my colleagues on the Committee. We are still at the report stage. It is true that we must respect the Standing Orders, that stipulate that reports must not be made public before being presented in the House. Otherwise, this clause would have no meaning whatsoever. Given that in law the legislator does not say things just for the sake of it, I would suggest to the group that the meeting we will hold to study the report proper, before its tabling, perhaps next week, be held in camera.
