Thank you, Mr. Turnbull.
Just very briefly, as Mr. Ruff will know full well, there are processes and protections that need to be in place to handle classified information—to store it, to retain it and so on. All of that would have to be made available to MPs, senators and conceivably their staff, depending on how this process would be rolled out, if the private member's bill were established.
I don't want to emphasize the idea that parliamentarians cannot be trusted with classified information. My concern about heightened risk is in part a concern about how this initiative would be read by our Five Eyes partners, to be honest, in terms of that tension that always exists about the kinds of information and intelligence that can be provided to Canada and the extent to which it can be protected by Canadians. I think there would be some questions raised by our Five Eyes partners, not least because they do not share this practice.
