Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Ferguson, I would like to talk to you about chapter 6, which concerns the creation of a historical record of Indian residential schools.
We know that the commission had to go to court to get the documents it requested. We also know that the court ruled in favour of what the commission asked for. The department subsequently agreed to comply with the court's decision.
You say in your report that the department refused to hand over certain documents but that there was no analysis supporting that refusal. Do you have any indication of the basis for the department's judgment in refusing to provide such documents?
