Thank you, Chair.
Mr. Dufresne, after the House adopted this motion or right prior, a lot of concern was put forward by the government, particularly around section (aa) and section (y) of the motion, which says that the documents will be “additionally vetted for information the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to interfere with contractual or other negotiations between the Government of Canada and a third party, by the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel”.
I read your CV. It's very extensive, and anybody who has an understanding of the role of the law clerk.... I've interacted with your office many times in my career as a parliamentarian. There's a lot of expertise there.
Are you confident about your team's ability to essentially get that part of the motion done, in terms of what it demands around confidentiality, etc.?
