Thank you, Chair. I will just read it in.
I move that Bill C-377, in clause 1, be amended by replacing lines 15 and 16 on page 2 with the following:
eration of their application, deemed to need that security clearance.
As I was trying to explain earlier, this addresses the concerns that were raised by the officials last week about the term “need to know”. It clears up that ambiguity and clearly focuses on the fact that, as I've mentioned in all my speeches and testimony, the only purpose of my bill is to allow parliamentarians to apply for secret security clearance. It has nothing to do with how the government controls access to that information or ever disseminates it.
The purpose of my bill, to clarify, is just to apply for that security clearance, so that's why I'm putting this change forward.
