I believe more knowledge is always important, so yes, I would concur with that.
On NSICOP, Mr. Johnston talked about the high value of it, and I completely agree. I think David McGuinty has done a tremendous job, and the other committee members have as well, but their very important recommendations have repeatedly been ignored. Their reports prove, again, that a public inquiry can report on issues of national security. Mr. Johnston said that NSICOP can review his work and that they should report publicly if they reach a different conclusion. But they actually aren't allowed to do that unless the PM says they can. That would result in the PM saying that NSICOP has come to a different conclusion from his own Johnston report, which he has commended.
So there are some disconnects there.
