I tried to explain at the beginning that I obviously cannot provide advice or comment on what occurred in Parliament. That involves parliamentary process and procedures, and Mr. Walsh made that quite clear.
What I am presenting today is the process used by the Office of the Commissioner to determine, through its investigations, whether it accepts the government position when the latter says that certain documents must be protected because they are Cabinet confidences. It's the same thing with respect to the Supreme Court ruling in the Babcock case, which lays out the procedure to follow and rationale that must be provided.
I am presenting that to the committee, in case you may consider it useful in your own proceedings as to the rationale or reasons you should be requesting as part of your parliamentary process. If there is a parallel to be drawn there, I leave that in your hands. That is what I felt able to present to you today.
