Thank you, Chair.

Thanks for coming here today.

I just want to make it crystal clear to everybody here that this bill does only the first step, which allows parliamentarians to apply for a clearance. There's nothing in this bill, the way it's currently written, that would allow access to any information. It just allows the ability to apply.

Is that clear to all the witnesses?
