The motion states:
That the Competition Bureau of Canada be ordered to provide in both official languages the documents as required by the motion passed by the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food on March 24th, 2009; and that the documents be provided to the Clerk of the Committee no later than September 18th, 2009.
I'll just explain why I'm doing this. About two months ago a motion was passed by this committee that ordered the Competition Bureau to provide copies of any and all studies and briefings and/or analysis documents pertaining to the approval and/or denial of all sales, mergers, and acquisitions of meat slaughter packing, processing facilities and livestock auction facilities in Canada from the year 2005 to current, at least four days before you were to appear here.
Now, it's my understanding you have provided the committee with approximately 800 pages of largely court orders and the products of those court orders without translations. They obviously cannot be distributed according to the rules. Having spoken to the clerk about the nature of the documents, apparently there are no studies or briefings or analysis documents. In other words, it's not what was asked for in the motion.
The motion basically states that we want what I asked for by the date of September. That's all I'm trying to do here.
