In closing, Mr. Chair, I conclude that what we have at present on the legislative menu means that we use parliamentary privilege, by raising questions of privilege, to extract information that we actually should be given, to maintain our democracy and keep it working properly, rather than having a security clearance. For one thing, who am I to ask for information that, in my opinion, I can do nothing with? For another, what purpose is served when there is a very specific process for getting information?
In fact, if I have understood correctly, all members of the NSICOP, the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians, receive the information that the government is going to propose or explore. What can they do with it? Although the NSICOP is multiparty, disclosure of documents happens in our committee or in the House.
Is that correct?
