Chair, I seek your advice: if Senator Brandis seeks leave to put that document to the Senate, would consent be forthcoming from you? Let us see if we can untie the minister's hands, shall we? Under standing order 166(b), I understand committee chairs could also table the document—I do not have the standing order in front of me. I seek your advice, Chair, and maybe if you want to avail yourself of advice from the clerks, because this is getting a bit ridiculous, we can help Senator Brandis to do his job.
