Just to follow up what Mr. Brison pointed out--he has left the room, but maybe Mr. Regan can....
Were you in cabinet? I think you're referring to cabinet documents, but there must be some times in cabinet, too, where you can talk about something and not have to ever have that recorded for 20 years down the road or something. So when he brings that point in—and I think Mr. Stanton has laid it out quite well—it's the very principle that at those meetings, when we can actually thrash things out, you can say, with due respect to opposite members and your colleagues, what's on your mind.
We're setting a precedent, and I think we need to set a precedent in the proper direction. If it's 20 years at one point, we should eliminate at committee...so in other areas of government we can actually have these times where we can thrash things out and not have to worry about future generations dissecting them and trying to understand or judge us for what we said at that particular time. I just think it's an important thing, and I'd like to see government move in that direction.
I can't see the rationale for keeping it for 20 or 30 years. To me, it just makes absolutely no sense. So although it might seem like a minute point, it's important. We're setting a precedent.
