Just as a matter of good process, when we do OPDs we should allow the government to return the documents to the Senate or make a claim of public interest immunity. We should then examine that and then, if necessary, call the minister to the chamber to answer for any lack of compliance with the order. I indicate that if indeed the government doesn't return the documents properly, I would support the remainder of the motion.
