Is there any debate on the motion? No?
(Motion agreed to)
Okay. So the 725 pages will be translated. And we are the committee of government operations and estimates. Wonderful!
The next thing I have is you have received a letter that was written to Minister Prentice. There was a response received. If you look at your file, you will see a letter written by us to the minister requesting documents. The response by the chief of staff was that, by virtue of article 20 of the Access to Information Act, they could not release the documents.
My response to them as chair on May 21 was that:
Please note that this was not a request under the Access to Information Act, it is as you referenced in your letter a committee motion. ... For your information, I have copied below the relevant section of the House of Commons Procedure and Practice Second Edition 2009.
They have not responded.
Yes, Ms. Coady.
