There's a reference there to “good government requires openness...but [sometimes also] requires secrecy”, and the opposition knows that. That's what we're talking about. I assume that's why the analysts put it right up front in the report--because it's so important to this report. To try to eliminate this section is mischief on behalf of the opposition. They're trying to hide information from the media and the Canadian public. I guess they're going to try to hone this report back down to two pages so that it says only what they want it to say to accommodate their coalition plans. It's outrageous to try to take these paragraphs out, Chair.
Thank you.
