Certainly. Thank you, Madam Chair.
Despite the provincial letter we're talking about here, there's no problem with the committee asking for the documents. The committee can send for records and they can even be summoned. They're protected, however, by parliamentary privilege, and as we know, they cannot be used in another place.
However, given the confidential nature of the documents Mr. Snowdy is referring to, the committee might want to consider a mechanism by which the confidential tabled documents could be protected by either looking at them in camera or by finding a way of looking at them so that some of the information is protected. It's for the committee to decide how they want to deal with the situation.
