Minister, with respect to that active, ongoing conversation, the reason there's a conversation is that the government is obstructing the work of Madame Justice Hogue. The government is not turning over documents that she sees as relevant to fulfilling her mandate.
I would note that this committee received a letter from the counsel to the commissioner, which indicated that with regard to the turning over of the documents Madam Justice Hogue has requested, “the interest of the Commission and the interest of the Committee would appear to align”.
Again, I repeat, what is the Prime Minister hiding?
I'll further ask if you would provide assurances that at the end of these discussions, Madam Justice Hogue will receive every document she has requested on an unredacted basis.
