I would put to you that Parliament has those powers, that the convention of cabinet confidence is only a convention and that ultimately we're the grand inquisitors of the nation.
The point I want to make is more on the legal opinion. This has been a challenge, even for this committee with our parliamentary privileges. It's getting access to the legal understanding in order for our own process to take due course to be able to provide analysis.
I'll put the question to you and ask if you can answer it briefly.
Professor West, would you benefit from having the internal legal opinions of the government made public for scrutiny by subject matter experts like you and by the public?
