I'm going to interrupt you, though.
Part of that oath—part of the oath we all take as parliamentarians—is to respect the Constitution, and the Constitution provides Parliament with the unfettered authority to call for documents. This is laid out very clearly. Beauchesne says very clearly:
Committees may send for any papers that are relevant to their Orders of Reference. Within this restriction, it appears that the power of the committee to send for papers is unlimited.
The law clerk has been very clear. Bosc and Gagnon is very clear.
There's a helpful document here that says, “Based on principles firmly established in constitutional and parliamentary law, a House of Parliament has the full authority to summon and compel the attendance and testimony of any person and to summon and compel the production of any document.” It's very clear. There is no grey matter here. It's very clear. Parliament has the authority to request documents unredacted.
Here we have 100-odd pages with heavy redactions, which are unconstitutionally made, because Parliament has the authority to call for these documents. It's very clear. Do you accept that Parliament has this authority, or is it the position of the Privy Council Office that you are above the Constitution and you have the authority to black out information rather than provide the information duly requested by a committee? Is that the position of the Privy Council Office?
