Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I understand the principle of allowing people some time if we asked them to remove the redactions or explain each one in writing, but I don't understand the idea of allowing 30 days before appearing.
If the proposal that I think is being put forward by my Liberal Party colleagues, namely not to request unredacted documents but simply ask witnesses to come here to explain reasons for redactions, then I can't see why that should take 30 days. I feel that our work has been held up long enough. We've been having trouble getting witnesses, for all kinds of reasons, including the fact that many of them are currently appearing before the emergency commission presided by Justice Rouleau, and that has been slowing things down.
In short, this redaction issue could be dealt with as a priority, perhaps next week or the week after that. I think that allowing 30 days would be inappropriate and delay things unnecessarily.
