The decision to propose a piece of legislation is an executive privilege. The Cabinet decides to introduce bills or move amendments to legislation. That's its prerogative. Why has that not happened? We are not in a position to answer that question. At any rate, even if such a piece of legislation was at some point introduced, parliamentary privilege should be taken into account by the drafters of the bill, as has been the case in other jurisdictions, such as England, Alberta and Australia.
As I was saying earlier, regardless of whether the legislation applies or not, we think the privilege regarding documents or issues discussed at debates and parliamentary work covered by parliamentary privilege should be recognized. So we need to come up with a process that would help recognize that, while also making it possible to provide the requester with information based on the criteria established or determined by parliamentarians.
