Mr. Chair, I would object to going in camera unless we have something solid to discuss.
This has been going on for three weeks. The opposition members have offered a whole bunch of different solutions. We simply haven't seen, from the government's side, any movement at all. In fact, yesterday the government was right back to its original position. It was all about killing the privilege motion and not having access to documents that are really important.
Unless there is something that my opposition colleagues believe is worth discussing, I don't see why we would go in camera. I don't think the government has even been discussing in a way that makes sense. We need to have access to documents. We have a couple of ways of going about that. One is through the law clerk, and the other is by having an impartial speaker rule on the privilege motion. We've seen both stymied.
I will defer to my opposition colleagues, and if they feel that it would be useful, I certainly won't block it. My initial reaction is that I've found it very discouraging that the government is intent on continuing this filibuster rather than getting to the heart of the matter, despite many opposition proposals that are very reasonable.
