Thank you, sir.
Before I call on committee members, yes, we would ask you to table the documentation that you mentioned in the last two paragraphs of your remarks, namely Mr. Marleau's correspondence with you. We would appreciate that. That would be helpful.
Speaking of tabling documents, on Friday, June 15, I read an article in the Globe and Mail headlined, “Human rights not on radar of senior Tories, MacKay says”. I think that's an inflammatory headline. However, the point is that both the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Defence, according to the newspaper, tabled written responses in the House of Commons on Thursday. One presumes that if they were tabled in the House of Commons, they were tabled in both official languages. I called my clerk and asked him to obtain copies of those documents for the members of the committee for today's meeting. I don't have them. I would appreciate it if, while you're giving your evidence, perhaps you could have one of your officials see if they could obtain copies of the reports that were tabled by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Defence in this regard.
Yes, Mr. Tilson.
