Given the circumstances of what the issue is about, we've been listening to some commentary on it and there's some question as to whether it is national security--what it is. The nature of this motion seems to be instructing the minister to do something that he's clearly in the process of trying to make a decision on.
I think it would be best to go in camera so we can have a discussion on this issue within the committee without the general public being present. This is a possible national security issue. It's certainly about something that's important to Canada's sovereignty. Why would we want to have this discussion in the general public at large, and internationally, when we could very well deal with it ourselves within the committee meeting?
