One is I am the deputy minister to the Prime Minister. I run a department of 900 souls who support the functions of the Prime Minister, and you're familiar with many of them, to make sure that all the jobs the Prime Minister has, and he probably has six or seven hats, are well supported. I'm a deputy minister, like any deputy minister.
I also am the secretary to cabinet, and that's the role you would have seen in any Tudor-era movie of somebody taking notes while the King's council met. Part of that is to support and record the business of cabinet and to protect the confidence of those conversations. Cabinet only works when those conversations are kept confidential. Cabinet confidence is a really important thing. Otherwise, those men and women would not feel free to express themselves, to argue, to disagree, and you would not get the best possible outcomes for Canadians. I am, institutionally, the guardian of cabinet confidence. I get to rule on disclosure of documents. I protect the confidences of all previous governments, so that you don't demand, with your majority on the committee, the discussions that took place in the Harper government, and the Harper government didn't demand all the discussions of the Martin government, and so on.
