Mr. Chair, it's very interesting to hear the conspiracy theories.
I think the department was very clear that this is not information that has been released in the past or in the present. It's not information they release. As a committee, we're asking them to publicly release information they've never released before. There's no hiding anything. We're asking them to do something different from what they've done before.
What we're simply saying is that before we go and release this thing publicly, perhaps we should review the list in camera. This isn't a matter of transparency and knowing where the money is going. We're talking about people who didn't receive funding. We're talking about people who applied for a program and didn't get it. They don't necessarily expect that to be public. We're going to command that the department release that information, which they've never released before.
I think it would be very prudent, it makes total sense, that if we're going to go down this road, we do it in camera.
