I will just add that this is precisely what I did. I did assess with the documents and the refusal to provide further documents whether I had enough to proceed, and I concluded that I did.
There were several instances during my five years when Michael and other lawyers who worked at the office were able to gain access to cabinet confidences in a very practical and formal way. This was actually the first time that we were opposed with a written no that said we will not gain access to additional documents.
The problem with cabinet confidences is that you don't know what you don't have. You have no idea of what you're not seeing. However, I determined I had enough to do section 9, so I proceeded.
