The SNC‑Lavalin case isn't a matter of national security. How can the need for cabinet confidence be balanced with the parliamentarians' need to know? That's the issue here. The RCMP commissioner said that he didn't have access to all the information. Since he didn't have access to the information, he didn't lay charges.
As parliamentarians, we wonder who decides what weight to give to transparency and the need for confidence. Both sides matter. Could you shed some light on this? Your extensive experience in the government strikes me as valuable.
