Yes, I do think so. I refer committee members to the recommendations of Professor Donald Savoie, who spent a fair bit of time in his report in New Brunswick on that issue and suggested a relaxation of the Westminster model and the traditional period of time during which cabinet confidences will remain confidential.
I think Canadians would benefit from some relaxation of those rules. Again, Mr. Marleau's recommendations, and certainly Professor Savoie's, are better references than I could provide to the committee.
