I understand the interruption came as a result of an issue of privilege. My understanding from the original motion was that there was a flaw within the motion in that it was asking for information from a department that didn't actually have that information. Now there's been an effort, a little bit of a fishing expedition, to find the correct department or some folks who might be able to acquiesce to the suggestion.
I don't think it's actually relevant to a motion of privilege. We as a committee asked a particular department for information they don't have. My understanding was that the response came. No one is trampling on our privilege. It was our lack of asking the right department for the information. That's my understanding. Am I wrong in that assessment?
Mr. Chair, I'd like you to consider that in ruling on whether we should move on to the consideration of privilege simply because we have a flawed motion, rather than because somebody is declining to respond with correct information.
