I'm not sure. Talk to the lawyers.
That would cause a serious problem. Essentially what we would have to do as a representative of the House dealing with legal counsel from the other side is ask for an extension. Sometimes you have a client who cannot attend a court case or whatever, so you will ask for an extension. In this situation we would ask for an extension of time based on the understanding that until the House could itself waive the privilege, nothing else could be done.
As I said before, no officers of the House, not the Clerk, not the Speaker can make that decision. It's really for the House to decide. You need the House to make a decision. Maybe we would go to court if we had to. Again, it's the process in section 44. We would ask the tribunal to wait for the House to resume to give a decision on whether or not we want to go ahead with releasing the document.
