I'm not discounting the fact that there are some unknowns in terms of how much a company will want redacted. I totally agree that it may be a factor we don't have control over, but there are some obligations, I would think, for us to have some redactions in those contracts as well.
Either way, what are we really looking for here? I would be interested to hear from other colleagues around the table on where they stand on this. I think it's important to ensure that we're not committing to revealing more information than a company would want. I think we can all acknowledge that we don't want to commit to an unredacted version, which is what the Conservatives had in their original motion. I think we can all agree that it's not appropriate, given the fact that you've already admitted that the companies themselves will want redactions. Even if we don't know exactly how much they'll want redacted, we know that they'll want some redactions. That's pretty consistent with past discussions and agreements at this committee, as I understand it.
I would be interested to know what my other colleagues from the NDP and the Bloc think about the proposal I've put forward, in order to see where they stand.
Thanks.
