I'm glad you raised cabinet confidence, because I think it's important to understand—because both you and Monsieur Fortin have raised this—that the functioning of a Parliament in our system of parliamentary democracy, as it's been inherited from the Westminster model, includes cabinet confidence. We're not just talking about solicitor-client privilege materials. We're talking about cabinet confidence, which exists to promote open and candid discussions around the cabinet table in the public interest that will be fearlessly advanced at that table and then defended publicly after that.
