Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to come back to where we were. To start with, I think it's really important to have all of you here to convey what your position is and to get clarity on what that position is. We're talking in vague generalities—we want to protect this and we want to protect that—and I think it's important to get to very specifically what you want to protect and why, and the fear that you have. The fear that you have is clearly somehow that this committee will leak the document, because you would have suffered no damages in the event that the committee didn't breach confidentiality and it was only the members of the committee who had it.
I struggle a little bit to understand why you would trust the public servants more than the members of the committee, particularly when they would be in a room with the law clerk and wouldn't have access to any phone or any device to actually take a picture of the agreement or anything like that. It would be only their unaided memory that they could leave the room with, and then they would be in breach of the rules of Parliament if they actually divulged.
I want to come back then, to cut to the chase, to the agreement.
