I want to note that the procedure guide for witnesses states:

Testimony before a parliamentary committee is protected by parliamentary privilege. This means that witnesses enjoy the same freedom of speech and immunity from prosecution or civil liability as do Members of Parliament.

I want to ask you, Mr. Chair, if we know for a certainty that this would extend to members of the Canadian Armed Forces.
