Thank you for your question, senator.
Obviously, the Library's values must be neutral and impartial. However, an analysis involves taking a position and accessing the available information. An impartial approach to our analyses often means being able to show both sides of the story and provide a balanced analysis. To that end, the Library of Parliament can give the various parties and groups, including all the groups in the Senate, an in‑depth analysis that truly covers all the aspects involved. Where necessary, this analysis also includes recommendations.
We must be able to provide a balanced analysis. This is where our strength lies when it comes to neutrality and impartiality.
