I'm not addressing the specifics or the value of this report. From a process point of view, could we draw a report that was tabled in the 31st Parliament and table that again? If the argument is being made that it's appropriate to draw any report that was ever produced in any previous Parliament, if there's nothing inappropriate about doing that....
The fact is that some or all of the members weren't around at that time, and the facts may have changed and the world may have changed. Notwithstanding those things, if it's still theoretically appropriate to do that, I guess he can make that argument.
As someone who wasn't a member of the committee and who wasn't a part of this process, certainly using the line of rationale that I understand is being used, then this could be drawn from a Parliament ten or fifteen years ago. Are we to somehow rubber-stamp that?
This is not a case of putting something on the public record. This is already on the public record because it was tabled in the last Parliament. I think this is different from committee work that started and was unfinished, and which we would risk losing if we didn't pursue it. That was the argument the last time, but I think it's a different argument from this argument.
