I ask that the secretariat provide the legal advice behind this to the various spokespersons on the committee. It seems absolutely bizarre that the Minister and his officials can go to a hotel room close to here and hold a public press conference to share information with the national and international media but cannot discuss this in public in the Houses of Parliament to which the Minister has a responsibility, as do I.
