It would be incumbent upon the members themselves whether or not they choose to get that security clearance or not, would it? Is there a possibility...?
I'm thinking about a situation. We discussed this a bit at the last committee. I'm on the national defence committee. One would assume that I might need a further clearance if I'm allowed. However, if I've chosen not to do that, does that automatically impede the rest of the committee? That could certainly create difficulties within the parties in deciding who sits on those committees. Is there a consideration of that in terms of how committees continue to function and who gets to sub in at committees? What are the rights of parliamentarians to sit in, even though they're not sitting members of that committee? If they want to sit in without a clearance, and there's a discussion, do they have the right to sit in? How does that work?
