I'll answer first, then perhaps Bruce will add something.

I think that the purpose of the act is to ensure transparency. When someone testifies before a committee, that information is already public; it is possible to read all the testimonies in the minutes. So, I don't think that this subsection of the act needs to be amended. I would leave it as is.
