I'm not sure if it's here, Chair, or later, but on several occasions the ministers asserted that they had determined that they were in compliance with the Speaker's ruling. They asserted repeatedly that they believed, by making the document dump that was made, the 700-and-some pages 15 minutes before they showed up to testify, that they had complied. In fact, they announced that the government was in full compliance.
That's an important point to make, I think, or to capture, because it's not for Ministers Nicholson or Toews to decide; it's for this committee to decide. This attitudinal approach is not captured in these bullet points, and I think it's important for Canadians to know; the ministers were here to participate, provide information, and then leave the determination to the committee itself.
I'm not sure how you would capture that, but it was a repeated assertion.
It also came from different Conservative MPs, particularly Mr. Lukiwski, who kept saying that they'd already announced that they were in compliance, when the whole purpose of this process is to come to a determination in that regard.
I'm not sure whether we can weave it in here or whether the analysts see a need to do so or not.
Again, I'm not going to die on the hill, but it's an important point.
