Thank you.
The clarification I was seeking was whether or not this direction from Parliament would require the government to produce this information. The way the instructions have been drafted—and I trust the way that the drafters have drafted it—it would require that. We've been told, colleagues, that the information exists, and we are giving direction to the government to produce it to Parliament. The only missing step here is some ministerial will to say, “Find it, and put it out there.”
I think Parliament should certainly exercise its powers to get this information out. Then, hopefully, the government will find a minister who will then say, “Find it.” If it can't find one, then perhaps they should elect a different government.
