Mr. Chair, I think Ms. Michaud is right. This new commission's mandate isn't to study issues related to national security.
However, the government has already established not one, but two other bodies, the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians and the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency, which are mandated to review the services of all agencies with a national security portfolio.
So other areas of government have the expertise to reassure all Canadians that our national security agency is properly carrying out its mandate.
