I heard references to the power to compel the production of documents and the committees. This is a power that is delegated by the House, and the committee has a right to compel the production of unredacted documents.

Now, the committee can hear concerns and put in place safeguards or measures with the view to protect confidentiality, and from the reading of the motion that the committee is debating, which is before the committee, measures with that purpose are proposed.
