Yes, absolutely. Some committees have used those technologies already. A lot of things currently exist that can really facilitate a lot of that.
I was explaining to Madam O'Brien earlier that at the preplanning stage for a report, the committee clerk, with the chair, and I suppose the committee members as well, decide on the format, the preparation, etc., okay? I think that's a very good vehicle because the committee has control of its report. I think we should really be working with the committee directorate to develop extra procedures, such as a set of questions we need to answer or ask at that point about securing the report.
If the report is of a very confidential nature, well, you may decide that you will not distribute the report electronically but will prepare physical copies and use watermark technologies--you would add a unique identifier for each member of Parliament who has a copy of that report.
You could also decide to password-protect this particular document. You can add properties, such as no copying and no printing, and so nobody can change a document.
You can also decide, as an example, to keep the document on a répertoire somewhere, where you can only access it from your environment. Then you can apply all kinds of protection and security and not use the e-mail system to distribute the document.
There are numbers of vehicles that are there today at your fingertips, I think, for the approach of taking that extra step at the preplanning stage of reports to address a lot of these questions, and in addition to that, when you make those decisions, what should be some reminders for the members. Because at the end of this, if you are making copies yourself in your offices, or if you are sending a report through a Hotmail account or through your PIN devices or some other mechanism, the members also have a very important role in terms of how to participate in protecting this environment. A lot of things already exist without any investment.
