They read as follows:
On November 4, 2009 - Don Head representing Correctional Service Canada appeared before the Standing Committee on Justice and Public Safety. He was asked to provide to the Committee, via the Clerk, information and answers to a number of questions that were posed to him to which he did not have an immediate answer. He was asked to provide the information within a week or before Bill C-36 was considered clause-by-clause.
The answers were not forthcoming. As a result, my staff followed up with the Committee and was informed that the information had been compiled by Mr. Head within the time specified by Committee, however, it was delayed and, as of the time of this report, still awaiting sign-off by the Minister of Public Safety and National Security.
Whether or not the information was withheld intentionally or unintentionally, the Minister has nonetheless, without reasonable excuse, refused to answer a question or provide information required by the Committee, which created the possibility of a finding of obstruction by the Minister in the committee's work.
Then I go on at the end with the motion itself:
I therefore move that the committee report these facts and this possible obstruction by the Minister in the deliberations of this Committee to the House as soon as possible so the House may consider this matter further.
