We are both members of the committee. I am a vice-chair. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6809009\" data-originallang=\"en\">To reiterate, you tried to find an explanation as to why the government is refusing to make this information available. The Liberals claimed legal authority at one time by a lawyer who was brought to the committee.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6809010\" data-originallang=\"en\">Do you think they are acting upon legal advice, or do you think there is another reason?</p>",
