Ms. Khalid, I'll have to cut you off there, unfortunately. We are running out of resources, but before we go, I'll note this—I did look it up—for the clarity of members of the committee:
The Standing Orders do not delimit the power to order the production of papers and records. The result is a broad, absolute power that on the surface appears to be without restriction. There is no limit on the types of papers likely to be requested; the only prerequisite is that the papers exist in hard copy or electronic format, and that they are located in Canada. They can be papers originating from or in the possession of governments, or papers the authors or owners of which are from the private sector or civil society (individuals, associations, organizations, et cetera).
I have a list. We will continue tomorrow with Ms. Khalid, Mr. Green, Mr. Barrett, Mr. Longfield and Mr. Desilets.
We're suspended until tomorrow.
[The meeting was suspended at 7:12 p.m., Monday, June 10]
[The meeting resumed at 11:13 a.m., Tuesday, June 11]
