So you're uniquely placed to understand security issues with regard to sharing information. I find it particularly ridiculous and unacceptable that you couldn't appear in front of the committee discussing these very issues. You are, sir, the expert in this country on these issues and yet we did not allow you to appear in front of committee.
Now I'm going to tie this, because my Conservative colleagues are no doubt getting hot under the collar, to the budget. The reality is that if certain pieces of legislation are fundamentally unconstitutional that creates an incredible burden on your office. Was this part of your worries with regard to Bill C-44 and Bill C-13?
