My question here may be more for Mr. Jorgensen in terms of his experience. We've had past experience where classified information has been shared with parliamentarians once they have a security clearance. The Winnipeg lab issue is one example. There are others. So we do have a process in place that we have come up with. When I say “we”, I mean the government.
My question, though, is that, if my bill were to pass.... Again, we have lots of parliamentarians who have security clearance. I had one long before I got put on NSICOP. I had a top secret security clearance that was still current, held by PSPC, and the government did not give me access to any information. My point is that the fact that a parliamentarian has a security clearance does not in any way inhibit the government from putting safeguards in place before they would share classified information.
Just having a security clearance grants a parliamentarian access to squat. That's my point. It's just a step they need to go through before they can get to step two or three.
