Mr. Speaker, perhaps as a point of clarification, the issue here is one of the veracity of the document itself.
My colleague from St. John's is referring to the fact that the minister was quoting directly from a document which he then gave his undertaking he would table with the House. If he is permitted to leave the chamber and make copies, there is no telling what the copy that will be tabled with the House will then contain.
It is very much an issue of the veracity of the originality of the document.
