I note that this motion contains two parts: one is for the ordering of the documents and one relates, in some sense, to measures designed to have the government respond to the motion positively. In my view, orders for production should be supported by all senators interested in transparency. The government should be given an opportunity to then advance a public interest immunity, after which time the Senate can decide what to do. So I ask that this motion be split up into two sections, with paragraph (1) first and paragraph (2) second.
