Thank you, Chair.
I'm going to touch on the tone of the motion. We're making the assumption that Veterans Affairs did not produce something that we asked of them. Based on the information that was provided, Veterans Affairs provided exactly the information that was asked for, based on the interpretation that was left there.
If we changed the contextualization of the motion, then I could support it. It's obvious in my readings here that Veterans Affairs didn't do anything on purpose, and the hours they spent through the Christmas holidays preparing all these documents.... If you had been more specific in your first part of the motion—or if we had, as a committee, because we all voted for it—then we could have expected to get all the information. Based on what was submitted through a motion, however, and the interpretation that was given to them, it's obvious that Veterans Affairs did what they understood was the requirement.
I feel that the opening comment about recognizing that Veterans Affairs did not provide the documents.... They provided the documents that they understood they had to provide. That's very important, I believe, to be fair to everyone around the table who voted for that motion.
