The finding was that this was a prima facie question of privilege. Mr. Milliken dealt with the issue of a claim by the government of national security and found that, at the end of the day, the House has the ability as part of its privileges to seek the information. That said, Speaker Milliken did say there were important responsibilities on both sides of the House, that both sides ought to try to work together to find a way that would allow the role of the House as the grand inquest of the nation and the role of the government as defender of the realm to be met. That's what was asked, and that's what occurred in that case.

That's exactly right. I was just going to say that's exactly what did happen. The response of the government then was not to resist production of documents and to run off to Federal Court, but rather the Harper government sat down with the opposition and they worked out a compromise such that those documents would be produced for a special committee that had certain parameters around it to examine the documents.
Is that correct, sir?

I can only talk about the fact that the proposed redactions have been made to some of the documents received, so that's a determination that's been made by the government, which I have not been able to see behind.

Of course, in this case what happened is that the Trudeau government unilaterally decided, without any negotiation with the opposition, to send those documents, to NSICOP in one case, but they haven't done anything with respect to these health documents, have they? Has the government proposed anything to you about how those 990,000 pages that remain, at least, might be handled?

Well, as I've indicated, the government has been in contact with me and with my office in terms of informing us that we're going to be getting batches on a monthly basis, so we are in communication. The outstanding issue remains that some of those redactions we can't see behind.

I would have to verify this. I believe it was in April, as part of that regular batch of documents. That's my understanding.

I'm looking to Mr. Bédard to see if he can confirm whether we've received...? We might have to get back to you later on that, or perhaps in writing, sir. I apologize.

I'm looking for my dates. My information is that the last batch of documents you received was in April, sir. Could I be correct about that?
