This suggests to me that our committee should first review the operation of the NSICOP, in the sense that it should meet the needs arising from the privilege of knowing, the right to know, rather than instituting a security clearance about what we do with the information we have, to make sure that when we request information, we can get it, so we are able to do our work properly. If we focused more on governance and how the parliamentary committee operates at present, might that be a potential solution, rather than enacting Bill C‑377 as is?
