Mr. Speaker, I would feel more confident because of some other things he said. The minister said earlier this week that the national progress report on sustainable development, which should have been submitted to the UN by now and he has it, could be a valuable resource in the consultation process. Yet the minister is keeping it under wraps and out of sight from the public.
If the minister is really serious about this consultation, he should open it up. Why can it not be made public and why can this parliament and the public not have access to it?
