Thank you. I was just taking a water break there, Mr. Chair. I will continue.
I was speaking specifically about the Department of Finance release, as I said before. All content of this agenda and notes from a meeting of members of PCO, PMO, ESDC and the Department of Finance, all this content in terms of meetings, is included. This is a cabinet confidence document, Mr. Chair. It's been released for review, with all information related to the CSSG visible.
The redactions that we find here are a conference call ID number. Again, there's another pattern here, Mr. Chair. We could be conducting pre-budget consultations. Instead we're sitting here and debating the redaction of a conference call ID, Mr. Chair. I'm trying to add to the context. I'm just trying to, as Mr. Gerretsen said, put some more meat on the bones so that we can have a full understanding of what's at stake with the amendment to the amendment we are debating.
I'd much rather be debating getting help out the door for Canadians in need, Canadians looking to pay rent, Canadian small business owners, Canadians looking to secure themselves and their families. Just yesterday, Mr. Chair, I met with Meetings Mean Business Canada, a business having an enormously tough time. I would love to hear them at committee. Unfortunately, we cannot do that.
Let's take a look at an email exchange and the comments.
There's not that much more, Mr. Chair. I'm almost through.
Let's take a look at an email exchange between Ms. Kovacevic and the minister's office staff and department officials. In this chain, we find all the information in the body of the email present. Again, though, we have redactions of private cellphone numbers. This is information that does not need to be in the public domain; therefore, our non-partisan public service removed it, quite understandably, as per the terms of the motion voted on by the members of this committee.
Let's take a look now—
