Pact ensures sensitive detainee files will remain sealed

[CHIMO]

The Harper government released the text of its pact with opposition MPs to share previously secret records on Afghan prisoners, confirming that the most confidential deliberations on the subject will be kept from parliamentarians.

The deal, which the NDP is boycotting, stipulates that there are two categories of documents that will be withheld from MPs.

These disclosure loopholes include records that the Harper government declares to be matters of cabinet confidentiality — advice for cabinet, briefs, memos or records of cabinet discussions — as well as any legal advice provided to Ottawa by Justice Department lawyers.

Well you decide.

Does this set a precedent for future parliaments?
