Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I fully agree with the comment you just made, and I'd just like to put it on the table to all colleagues here.
This isn't necessarily studying the mission, but being informed of what is happening to our men and women, hearing from the people. I believe the information that is going to be presented to us will be information that is available to all, as Mr. Hawn pointed out. We will not be privy to sensitive classified information, but the media has a way of presenting a story, and I think we would like to hear it, if I may use it in a good way, from the horse's mouth directly, because we have an obligation to our constituents. It would certainly make us look silly as parliamentarians that we are not informed and we cannot respond to our constituents in a half-decent, intelligent way, as opposed to picking up the paper one day and reading something, and really they did not tell the whole story.
I believe, as an obligation to our constituents, and some members have bases in their ridings, it would only be appropriate that they hear it directly from the source and we put out the information as accurately as it is presented to us.
I don't want to compare that we're going to hear it from the media anyway, because I think it's two different scenarios altogether, Mr. Chairman.
