Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will try to make good use of my time.
Mr. Duheme, my colleague Mr. Green talked earlier about cabinet confidences, which greatly intrigues me. He said there was a kind of shield between the Prime Minister and the RCMP in the current case. Or at least, he said it was like a shield.
If we want to make changes to the rules regarding cabinet confidences, we certainly cannot do it through regulation, because it is a constitutional matter, unless I am mistaken. Neither one of us is a lawyer. Nonetheless, I would like to know what you think about one thing.
There needs to be a balance between changes to the rules for cabinet confidences, which is very important, and the RCMP’s needs. Do you think that’s the direction to head in? Is the juice worth the squeeze or, on the contrary, are we just going to get stuck?
