Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As a continuation of the discussion, United States senators have similar protections to our parliamentary privileges. There was a case in which a senator received information and was told he couldn't publish it, but he found a back-way—through a subcommittee, because he was the chair—to publish that information. That ended up actually going through the federal courts. It went to the Supreme Court, and it ruled to uphold his privilege—his “parliamentary privilege” or whatever the American equivalent is. As the legal expert on this and all things legislation, have you or your office done a study or similar consideration of just how, if such a thing were to happen in a Canadian context, it would be applied here?
