Inside Politics

The documents are coming! The documents are coming!

.. the documents that the Afghanistan committee has been not so patiently requesting for weeks! 

That's according to Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon, that is, who told the House that the documents would, indeed, be delivered to the committee by December 2nd, just in time for their next meeting. 

Okay, it's possible that phrases like "legally available" and "can provide" (italics mine) may have accompanied his announcement, and if the black-marker-to-cleartext ratio is anything like it was on material the same government submitted to the Military Police Complaints Commission, it's not clear how meaningful the contents will turn out to be, but still -- it's a start, right?
