In the letter in which I asked for instructions, the main issue I pointed out to the committee was the translation. The government decided that it should be done by the Office of the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel, and, if necessary, by asking for resources from the Board of Internal Economy. I indicated that, in our view, that obligation lies with the government.
I asked for those instructions in the event that, under the circumstances, the committee tasked us with doing it. However, we are no longer doing it, given that the responsibility does lie with the government. In that regard, instructions could be prepared.
In terms of the disclosure, if the committee is not satisfied with the way in which the disclosures are made or with the reasons suggested for doing the redactions, the committee can report that to the House.
The committee cannot amend the order of the House because only the House can do so. But the committee can report on its satisfaction or dissatisfaction as to the way in which matters are proceeding.
