A point of order, Mr. Chair.
I would like to remind the members of this committee that our witnesses have probably seen all the documents related to Richard Colvin's affidavit. They have probably looked at all the documents kept by the Department of Foreign Affairs which were written to answer Mr. Colvin, all the memos written for information or decision sent to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, all the documents tabled by Amnesty International about the Chief of Defence Staff. They have also probably looked at all the documents of the Military Police Complaints Commission as well as all the reports of Foreign Affairs relating to human rights in Afghanistan. Today's witnesses have probably had access to all those documents, which the members of the committee have not.
Therefore, I request that the committee not hear the witnesses until we get access to all of the documents that will allow us properly to question them. Whether it be today, tomorrow or next week, until we get those documents, we will be relatively paralyzed, which is profoundly unfair.
