Mr. Menzies, it's hard for me to accept your answer. You are one witness among many. Even if two ministers have appeared before you, I want your answer. Wouldn't it have been easier and more democratic to have given parliamentarians what they needed on November 24, because here we are, on March 17, debating the issue, and we are now entitled to some information that had been requested on November 24? You are a minister and you know how the machine works. Can you explain why you voluntarily held back information relating to your sector that has now been provided to parliamentarians? Why not on November 24?
On March 17th, 2011. See this statement in context.
