Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I too have a bit of an issue with the one-month timeline to produce all of these documents. It does seem a little bit long. These documents should be ready right now. The government has been seized with this controversy, and basically nothing but it, for the last 10 days since the scandal was revealed. It should not be hard for the committee to receive that documentation by, say, early next week.
That said, in the spirit of compromise, we're obviously going to support Mr. Julian's motion regardless. A month to produce documents on something like this is an extraordinarily long time. I think if the Clerk of the Privy Council were to put out a call to all the officials who were supposedly involved in this decision, he could probably summon those documents in a couple of hours. I do think Peter's suggestion that we wait until early August is extremely generous. Again, I would have preferred if he had suggested a shorter timeline, but given that he has in his judgment come up with this date, we will accept it.
