Thank you, Madam Chair.
Welcome to the committee, Minister.
I'm pleased to learn that you're already working on production of the documents we've requested. I understand what cabinet secrecy is. I imagine you also understand the importance of the work we're doing and the fact that we've been sworn in and may receive confidential documents and information.
We can't carry out our mandate if we don't have all the information and documents we need to do so. I hope you're aware of that too. I'm sure you're making good faith efforts to do what has to be done for us to have that information and those documents.
Having said that, I'd like some clarification on one point.
Did you take part in cabinet discussions before the Emergencies Act was proclaimed?
