Colleagues, I would respectfully suggest we use “request” because we have already sought the documents and been told no. My sense is if we use “order”, we're walking down a path that will get into a contest of will.
There may be a desire to take it to the chambers themselves. I would like to avoid that. I think we should have a respectful relationship with the ministers when they come. We should ask for it and see what they say.
I would support “request”.
