It would be in the other way, as well. Would it not?
The clerk is saying that we'd have to approve the report anyway. I've gone through the documents. It's pretty straightforward. The departments have just said, “No, get lost. We don't believe in Parliament,” basically. They're saying they don't believe in the supremacy of Parliament. There's that.
There are other ones that have been redacted minorly, but it's almost beside the point. Our motion said “unredacted”. We've been very good with them that we won't make the items public. We've stated that we'll chat with them. We've offered to look at their suggested redactions before anything is done. We, as a committee, have bent over backwards for these departments, and they have just thrown it in our faces.
I'm trying not to get angry here over their refusal to comply with the very reasonable options that we've given them.
That being said, the clerk—and she knows this a lot better than I do—has said that, when it does come back, we still will have to, whether it's report to the House as ordered here or report to the committee, vote to send it to the House.
Aimée, if you want to explain it a bit more, I'm fine with that.
