I have no problem with that. In fact I would suggest that we get some background information on this only, Mr. Chairman, nothing that would in fact prejudice what is before the court. I would suggest perhaps that we give those who are in fact seeking the access to information and being denied it their opportunity to come before us. It will be an opportunity for this committee to question their motivation.
Certainly, I know Mr. Angus has made several statements about a given media company here in Canada, and if he wants to take a run at Sun or find out what their motivations are...I would like to know their motivations as well, as I said. Is this about transparency or is it about competitive advantage? I think that's important.
I also think transparency with respect to how funds are being spent and where it could ultimately come through as fees for Canadians...I think we need to understand that. That's why the other witnesses are there. Any of these background witnesses have absolutely nothing to do with the court case, but it does have everything to do with access to information and transparency.
