Mr. Turnbull, you're absolutely right. The threat reduction measures—and we talked about that earlier in the meeting—allow CSIS officials to brief somebody because of an imminent or an ongoing threat to national security. The information they would share in a threat reduction measure, for example, with the Leader of the Opposition, whether or not he obtained a security clearance, would absolutely be subject to the Security of Information Act.
What that means in more simple terms is that a person who received highly sensitive information as part of an authorized threat reduction measure would legally be bound to keep that information secret. As you know, Mr. Turnbull, in fact, the Security of Information Act is a criminal statute. Violation of it brings a criminal prosecution.
It's done very specifically to protect the ability of CSIS to protect human sources. It's to protect their investigative capacities.
