This will be good.

They're always good statements, Senator McKim. The government will carefully consider this motion; however, departments regularly hold confidential discussions with industry and disclosing these discussions risks undermining future consultations and policy development and, therefore, would not be in the public interest to disclose.
Question agreed to.
