No, I did not say that it wasn’t necessary. Let’s use the example of information on detainees in Afghanistan. It’s safe to assume that there is a sense of urgency in accessing that information. A delay in translation could have major consequences. The translation of a document like that could in fact take months. Perhaps access to information is not required right away. We mustn't wait until it is. But the translation has to get done.
