We're currently facing an extremely worrisome situation, and it must not go unaddressed. That said, since last week, I myself have been wondering what to do about it. Ms. McPherson was quite right to raise this question of privilege. I continue to ask myself: Are there any precedents for this type of situation where members of a committee breached or violated in camera proceedings to share information from the discussion with journalists?
Because, generally speaking, journalists refuse to disclose their sources—and one can understand why—what options do we have?
I welcome Mr. Oliphant's proposal to ask the clerk to present us with options so that we can put forward a response, because we can't simply act as if nothing happened. In my opinion, the situation is too serious for us to act like it didn't happen or there's no reason to talk about it. Something serious happened: This committee's in camera proceedings were violated. I think we need to do something, whatever it is, but having said that, I need options to be presented to us because, honestly, I've been asking myself since last week: What options do we have? We need to be informed on what the options are, but we need to do something. That goes without saying.
