Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for being here today, Mr. Bédard.
I think, thanks to your expertise, we are finally able to understand your interpretation of Bill C‑377 and the repercussions it will have if it is passed as it stands.
My questions will relate to your expertise and experience. If you have any suggestions to make to clarify anything for members of the committee, we are always prepared to consider them.
My first question relates to parliamentary privilege.
What can you tell us about the relationship between this privilege and the right to information?
Do parliamentarians have an inherent right to information?
