"content": "Issuing a statement is part and parcel of activities of the Committee. That just raises the issues around it. However, I am persuaded very strongly that the Senate Minority Leader plays a very special role. Parliament, in its own wisdom, has always given the opposition the oversight committees. Are you going to say that the Chairpersons of those oversight Committees will not issue those statements? They can and they should. So, it is perfectly in order for the Senate Minority Leader, for the sake of decency not to be issuing those kinds of statements. However, let him know that his Chairpersons issue those statements on behalf of the Government. It just happens that the information sought comes from the Government. The Committee can completely depart from that particular source, look for other sources and give the statements according to their understanding of the facts as they are. Let us leave it there. There is a bit of stuff to ponder, but not for now."
