Thanks, Mr. Chair.
In terms of the motion of privilege, I think I saw come into my email yesterday morning, at about 10:41, some documents that showed some formulas and things that were being asked to show how the forecasts were being done. The document came from a different organization, which kind of surprised me a bit, but then, given the amount of time the department had to prepare this and get it into translation and try to get it to our committee before our meeting, I thought, well, okay, we see where the formulas are and we see the process they are following.
In terms of a motion of privilege, I think the information was received before the meeting, as requested. The information may have been incomplete in terms of some of the members. I was satisfied with what I saw, so I didn't feel like my privilege was being violated. I think the information was good enough for what I saw. We might want more information, and of course the committee can ask for that if some of the members don't like the information, but it's not that privilege was violated. We did get the information that was requested in the short amount of time they were given to get it to translation and get it to us.
We do have some information. Maybe we could ask for more information. That could be done without having to invoke privilege. I think that's getting a little dramatic. I wouldn't support this as a privilege motion, but I would like to see more information coming forward.
Thank you.
