Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Ruff.
Perhaps you could help explain why this bill is necessary. You noted that you have a top secret security clearance arising from your service in the Canadian Armed Forces. Is it accurate or fair to say that as a sitting member of Parliament, unless you had a security clearance from a prior career or are one of the handful of members appointed to NSICOP—on which you serve—the chances of getting a secret security clearance or any security clearance are close to nil?
