I have to tell you that this is impressive public service and an impressive number of elections won by MP Masse. I have to say that I suspect that even for somebody with the patience of Job—which Mr. Masse has, having been in this place for so long—needing 2,960 days to release the reasons the department didn't want that amendment to the bill is too long. Mr. Masse was present on this bill, a very important bill that Mr. Masse did very good work on with us in that committee, and he wouldn't want to wait that long to find out why that important one was defeated.
Mr. Masse, we should probably do some access to information on the reasons the government voted against your amendment. You would think that voting against your amendments would motivate you to want to make sure there was more openness and transparency here. However, apparently we have a problem here again on the ability of access to information to work.
We asked again for the emails, memos and texts from someone named Mehmet—sorry, Mehmet, if I pronounced your name wrong—Karman. Now, Mr. Karman is a senior policy analyst.
Do you remember when I talked a minute ago about policy folks, then directors, then directors general, then ADMs, then DMs, then the elected minister over them and how that's the hierarchy of government? Well, he's one of those policy analysts who would have worked quite a bit on the meat, on the details, of this stuff.
