Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll just reiterate and be brief in saying that we've just heard extensive testimony on how the timeline is set up for failure. I think in this case, particularly if Monsieur Villemure really does want to get these documents, we would like to see.... Rather than a timeline that is cut too short when, as we heard in the testimony previously, there are just requests for extensions and requests for extensions, if we actually propose a reasonable extension—as described by probably the leading expert on ATIP requests and demanding documents in this country at this time—we'll actually get what we're asking for.
At the request of the chair, I won't dive into the clarity on each section—we can get to that afterwards—but, yes, I do want to see documents.
The other thing that I'd flag is that there has been a precedent in this committee of asking for unredacted contracts from private contractors. That is a complicated precedent in terms of corporate privacy and agreements, and we can expect that when we start to demand corporate contracts, there will be resistance to do that. We want witnesses to come forward. We'd like to have companies be able to come forward in the future and discuss their work, but when we ask for unredacted private contracts.... For a businessman, it does get complex. I know that Public Services and Procurement Canada said it will not disclose those things.
In an effort to not put the cart before the horse and to make sure that we get what we're asking for, I would ask if Monsieur Villemure is willing to consider those—particularly the timeline—at this time.
