I have so many questions.
The sponsor of the bill, who is with us today, made many references to the number of people who currently hold secret security clearance—it's about 250,000—and said that only 23 have been rejected.
Can you go through those numbers for me? Also, when you get security clearance, do you always keep it? I know there's revocation if it's necessary, but how long does that last?
What I'm getting at is this: Where members of Parliament are allowed this access, how will CSIS, or whoever provides the clearances, handle and manage that in terms of numbers? Is that even an issue?
