One of the reasons I said in my opening statement that I would respect the bounds the CSIS director and the NSIA put in place, or had around themselves when they came to committee in a public setting, is that they are in a far better position to be able to make those determinations than I am. That's because the classification of material happens within their purview and within their departments. Obviously it's different if it's material coming out of CSE, for example—and there are a number of different places within government—but the ultimate adviser on this kind of information to the PM, who reports directly to him, is the national security and intelligence adviser.
All of us who get cleared, as I mentioned briefly earlier, have to sign documentation where we make a number of undertakings. Written right into those undertakings are not only the consequences from a legal standpoint of revealing some of this information, but also the potential consequences of it, as I mentioned in my opening statement as well. They can be very severe for the country, and that's why we should all really respect them.
