Mr. Chair, I'm a bit perplexed at this. Mr. Dosanjh and I were on CBC last night, live, and he was quite happy with having all these brought forward.
The government is proceeding down the road here with Justice Iacobucci. This is merely to clarify what we think should be included in Justice Iacobucci's mandate when it is published. It's being worked on now. I can't tell you when that's coming. That's not part of what I personally am involved in.
The government is proceeding down that road. We can play games here all day long, but the government is proceeding down that road. That is not what this is; that is merely clarifying what Justice Iacobucci should be looking at. He's not an agent of this committee. He's being appointed by the government to look at which documents are releasable, at what information is releasable in the interests of national security and international relations.
I might point out that Derek Lee's own private member's bill, as published, has provisions for the withholding of information by the applicable minister, by the Prime Minister, in the interests of national security and international relations. That's in his own private member's bill.
So let's not talk about playing games here, Mr. Chair. There are games being played very strongly on the other side. We should just get on with our business.
