Basically, I would like to raise three points.
Mr. Sidhu said that the problem was related to translation delays and that, if we wanted the documents in English only, we would have them. That's not true.
According to your update, documents are still pending. I'd like to remind you that we were supposed to receive the documents two weeks after the motions were put forward, in March and April. Some documents haven't been submitted yet, so it's not a matter of translation delays. Some documents haven't been sent for translation yet.
Again, there's a difference between saying that the documents will be sent maybe in two weeks—which was an ambitious timeline—and saying that they will be sent in six months. I think the difference is quite significant.
That said, Mr. Cannings talked about the agency's intentions. I don't think we're here to assess the intentions of the agency. I, for one, am not attributing any harmful intent to anyone. We're here to evaluate the results. A commitment was made, but the commitment wasn't kept. More than six months later, as we speak, we still haven't received the documents requested. The assessment and revenue management system is going to be implemented, and we haven't been able to do our work on it yet.
I also agree with the idea of giving priority to certain documents, except that I think it's a completely different matter. That would have to be a separate motion.
The purpose of my motion is to find out whether the agency provided the documents we requested, in other words, whether it did what it committed to doing. That isn't what we're asking them to do now. It's something else.
I have no problem with providing a list of documents that we would like to prioritize. I agree with that. However, being told in committee that you're going to provide us with the documents in two weeks, when we haven't yet obtained them, is what's wrong.
Let's not confuse the issue. This motion isn't about the documents requested. It isn't a motion to request documents. The purpose of my motion is to come back to the issue of the documents that haven't been provided. I think this is a rather serious failing, and unfortunately, this isn't the agency's first misdeed.
