Thank you, Chair.
I have two comments on Mr. Oliphant's remarks. First of all, I appreciate the fact that the government is intending to support the motion. I think I should clarify, though, that we don't intend the documents to be vetted by the parliamentary counsel. The intention is that we would work with the counsel to ensure that we have a mechanism to protect the confidentiality. We're not asking them to redact them for us. We would like to have them work with us to ensure that we are able to protect the confidences in terms of what matters are confidential and what matters aren't, but we would want to see the documents unredacted. That's just to clarify that.
In terms of the 60 days versus 30 days, I don't want to lose the sense of importance of this and would prefer to see an amendment that said “as soon as possible, but within 60 days”. That would give an outside range, but also, if they are available within 30 days, 20 days or 35 days, we would want to have them available to us.
If Mr. Oliphant would agree to add, before his “within 60 days”, the words “as soon as possible”, or “practicable”, whichever you choose, I would be very happy to agree with it.
