There is absolutely nothing to hide. The point of this meeting is to talk to the Minister of National Defence as the Minister of National Defence on the subject of the estimates. This committee already agreed that issues concerning the Afghan mission, whether they be detainees or anything else, would be handled by the Special Committee on the Canadian Mission in Afghanistan, of which most people here are members.
Mr. Chair, what Mr. Dosanjh is getting into is an area that was under the minister's purview as Minister of Foreign Affairs, not as Minister of National Defence. He is not here testifying as the former Minister of Foreign Affairs; he is here testifying as the current Minister of National Defence.
I would leave it to your judgment.
