Thank you so much, Chair
Thank you to both our witnesses for being here.
Mr. Wernick, thank you for coming back so soon. It's good to see you again.
This is really about addressing the point of privilege, which I think is incredibly important, and what we've heard very clearly from multiple sources is that Mr. Chong was not made aware of issues soon enough. That's an important component of this.
We also know that the process to get that information to Mr. Chong seemed to get stuck somewhere in top secret email world and all of these different challenges.
I know you speak a lot about legislation and those types of changes. When you look at this system that we have in place, which is currently failing us in the way that it builds a sense of distrust not only with Canadians, as you said, but potentially with our Five Eyes partners, could you talk about the work you've done? Do you have any process or any legislative ideas around how this information should get to the people who need it in a timely way, while also honouring the reality that it has to be substantive enough, before anything else, to be shared?
I'll leave you to that.
