Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank you, Mr. Chong. I've followed your political career for quite some time, long before I got into politics, so I know you to be someone who believes firmly in our institutions.
When I first read the Globe and Mail articles, I was deeply disturbed and concerned—as you made clear that you were—because of the privileges we have as members of Parliament and the role that we need to be free to play.
In reading some of the comments and in hearing your testimony here, I can see that you are trying to protect the security services and the information that you received to respect your obligations as a former cabinet minister and to respect the counsel that is shared with you, but I'm trying to figure out how we go forward.
Are there things that you would like to share with this committee that you know you can't share in public?
