What I'm going to say may indirectly answer Mr. Carr's question. The fact that the analysts have confirmed that they have already started producing documentation related to all the latest studies—this documentation was not distributed at the last committee meeting and was not distributed today—demonstrates the relevance of having a compilation of documents.
That will also enable members around the table to all have access to the same documents, to the same information. It could also consolidate the information on foreign interference that has been made available in other committees, through the Hogue commission, if the analysts deem it relevant. So a number of things may come out of proceeding in that way.
I would like to ask a question about confidentiality. When committees receive draft study reports, those reports are deemed to be confidential. From what I understand, a member making them public would constitute contempt. Is this a formula that could be used to compile information that was received in camera and distribute it to the members of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs?
