I insist on the fact that we are entitled to ask for documents in order to complete our work. After that, we will decide if we want to do a study or not.
In answer to Mr. Young, I would say, about looking at the problems that members of the committee might find, that we could meet in camera if there is a concen. After we receive the information, we will be able to decide on our course of action. We are perfectly entitled to ask for information. As a matter of fact, I put a request on June 15 to Mr. Guimond and Mr. Wright and both agreed with providing us with the relevant information. This is very significant.
If this motion did not exist, I would ask the committee to demand that Public Works meet the commitments it made it to the committee on June 15. I believe that the motion only confirms that the committee needs that information for its study.
I understand the concerns that have been expressed but the department has told us that it will provide that information. Therefore, I do not understand why there is even a debate on this. It will be up to you to decide about the point raised by Mr. Kramp. However, I believe that we have the right to ask for those documents, especially since the department has committed to provide them on June 15. It is there, in black and white. Even if the motion did not exist, the department would have to comply with that request.
