The Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference ( PIFI ) has been arguing over an undisclosed number of documents and redactions withheld by Ottawa over claims of cabinet confidence.

In an order in council signed Aug. 30 , the Liberals allowed the release of confidential cabinet documents.

The order does not specify how many additional documents will be released to the inquiry or how many redactions will be lifted.

The commission is set to launch its second phase of public hearings on Monday .

National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) accused the Liberal government of “inappropriately” withholding all or part of over a thousand documents over cabinet confidence claims during its review of foreign interference.

“The Committee is concerned that some departments and agencies may be inappropriately using claims of Cabinet confidences to avoid disclosing information to the Committee ,” report said.
