My colleagues, indeed, these types of points have been raised before.
The hon. member for Pictou—Antigonish—Guysborough mentions something that took place in the committee and I firmly believe that he does have a grievance. However, I think that particular point should be settled in the committee.
With regard to other statements being made, the House does not have any rules governing this particular way of disseminating information. However, I would encourage ministers and, indeed, all members when they bring reports, if it is at all possible, that we, the collective parliamentarians of Canada, should have access to these documents as quickly as possible. I understand that sometimes that cannot be done when the House is not sitting. I understand that. But where it is possible I would urge ministers to consider doing just such a thing in the future.
