I'll start off with a bit of an introduction so we can move fairly quickly. We are talking about leaks of information from in camera sessions. We recognize that it happens, and a report generated by the researchers certainly shows cases of it.
The point isn't that it happens--we recognize that--we're trying to look for the remedy. What's the sanction against a member who chooses, knowingly, to breach a confidence of an in camera committee session?
I think we all know that there are some confidentiality requirements to the job. Committees meet in camera to discuss draft reports or information they feel shouldn't be open to the public at that time. Some members choose to then immediately leave the presence of that committee and share information that has been deemed to be confidential with the press.
We're looking for the sanctions should someone be found to have breached that confidence. But what are we looking for? I see on the list here that there's everything from the use of the guillotine to imprisonment. How do we get to that point of sanctions? Is it the job of this committee to determine how we would then prove the lack of confidentiality of a member? What sanctions would be taken by the House toward that member?
