If I could just clarify a point, I may have misled the committee a bit earlier in my remarks. We now have the contrast between the views expressed by Mr. Christopherson out of concern for the innocent and the concerns of Mr. Williams and others regarding the public nature of these proceedings. I think the concern of Mr. Christopherson, as I understand it, is the way you're talking about whether so and so is a liar, and that sort of thing, and that's very damning.
On the other hand, if the discussion is about where we see discrepancies that need explanation, that is not damning. We're not saying anyone is lying; we're just saying there's a discrepancy and we want to know why. I don't have a problem with specific reference to specific testimonies by identified persons as a public discussion by this committee--discrepancies that need explanations.
However, if the discussion is along the lines of, “I think so and so lied, I think so and so is a liar”, that's a different kind of discussion and maybe it should happen in camera.
I just share that with you, Mr. Chairman, as there is a possibility for an open discussion here if the committee were to talk in terms of discrepancies.
