It would not be appropriate to release working documents, including those prepared by other jurisdictions, while the process is ongoing. Ultimately, any decision to release documents once the working group is completed will be a matter for attorneys-general of all jurisdictions.</p> <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p><p>The question is that the motion No. 924 moved by Senator Thorpe be agreed to.</p>
