Duly noted, Mr. Barnes.
In the same vein, in our last meeting, Mr. Wernick, the former clerk of the Privy Council, testified here. He made reference to the fact that he would want us to be very concerned about narrowing the scope of the national security exceptions to the release of information. The reason was that there could be foreign bad actors who would be quite happy to understand what the process was or what the sources were of Canada's information.
Mr. Barnes, given that you worked in the domain inside government and now you're outside seeking rightful information, I think you could provide this committee with a balanced view on this aspect. Do we have to be concerned? Is there a measure of concern that we should have in terms of narrowing down the scope of the national security provisions?
