I will try to keep this short, Mr. Chair.
First, as for the cameras for the Turkish drones, I believe that the die is cast, in that some of us heard from the lips of the Turkish ambassador to Canada that Turkey has developed its own Turkish technology in manufacturing its drones. They now no longer need Canadian technology, which, actually, they probably copied.
I want to go back to a statement that Ms. Mason made in a brief submitted to the Senate committee examining bill C-47. She stressed the need to prevent abuses of commercial confidentiality.
One of the reasons that we are meeting is precisely that, at a hearing with officials from Global Affairs Canada, the answer to a number of the questions we asked was that they could not answer them, because of commercial confidentiality.
In your opinion, Ms. Mason, how can we get round this difficulty that we as parliamentarians are always faced with when the time comes to discuss these matters with representatives of Global Affairs Canada?
