Parliament has done this before with the NML situation and the Afghan detainee files. My bill does not address giving anybody any information. It only addresses the application for a secret security clearance. What I'm getting at is that I want to get rid of this ambiguity or get rid of this concern, because I'm only tackling that first step. These are legitimate concerns. I think the government of the day and all of you as officials would then ensure that the appropriate procedures and processes are put in place to protect this information after the fact.
I just want to get to the point for parliamentarians, as Mr. Duncan laid out, that there are so many people who work in certain positions—including, I would argue, parliamentarians, with the threat environment that we face now—that we should be elevating our game when it comes to national security and intelligence and doing better. The only way to do that is actually to see a bit behind the curtain, but the first step is to apply for security clearance. I'm just looking for that assistance to reassure you, because as somebody who has been in this world forever, I do not want to put any of our national security and intelligence assets at risk.
