Thanks very much, Chair.
I wanted to weigh in on this. I think it's really important.
I was listening to Mr. Chong speak. He spoke to the fact that parliamentarians need information to do their work, and I agree with that, but I also agree that we all have an obligation to jointly work to protect national security, and NSICOP is designed to allow parliamentarians—our colleagues who are MPs and parliamentarians—to get access to information to do that work while also protecting national security. I think that's the balance Ms. Damoff is trying to strike.
I think it's only fair when we're asking for documents from National Defence and others around military operations and that sort of stuff that we consider the national security implications—apparently, there is one—so as Ms. Kwan said, why not put our faith in our colleagues on NSICOP to review those documents? That way, parliamentarians have access to that information but we also don't put national security at risk.
I support what Ms. Damoff has put forward.
