Notwithstanding the review that has been announced by Minister Wyatt, which is very welcome, that does not obviate the need for this motion. I have been approached by a number of families whose loved ones were at this facility—this house of horrors, which many people now regarded it as. We owe it to those families to do everything we can at every possible opportunity to get to the truth of what occurred and to have appropriate scrutiny. This order for the production of documents does that, and I urge my colleagues to support this motion.

Question agreed to.
