Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to note at the outset that I think Mr. Chong's questions were manipulated by Mr. Oliphant to imply that he said something he had not said. I think Mr. Chong's points were quite clear, making an argument about how, in our system, we have the supremacy of Parliament, which means that we would expect that when there are investigations into important matters, there would be a greater level of transparency here.
Mr. Dufresne, thank you for your very clear comments about the fact that committees have Constitutional authority to send for documents. It has been upheld by the Supreme Court and by Speaker Milliken's rulings that there are important public policy considerations at play that committee members will take into consideration, and it's ultimately up to them to take those matters into consideration.
Mr. Roy, can you respond to this? If we're to believe your version of reality, that there's no ability for committees to compel documents, then what the hell happened with the Afghan detainee case? What's your interpretation of the events that took place in the Afghan detainee situation, if you don't believe there's a right to compel the production of documents?
