The government will oppose this motion. It would be inappropriate to release all submissions, as some submissions are submitted on a confidential basis. Submissions that are not confidential will be released ahead of the introduction of any legislation.

The question before the chair is the motion standing in the name of Senator McKim, an order for the production of documents.
