Mr. J. Alan Leadbeater at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

I will just clarify. In our office we will definitely see any document the government wishes to keep secret, unless it's a cabinet confidence. We will see the document and we will ask who made the decision to keep it secret. When we find out who made the decision, we'll ask them why, and we'll measure that against the exemptions in the statute. We can order the document produced to us, but not to a parliamentary committee or to be made public.
