We have a situation where we already have the Security of Information Act and the National Defence Act. There are different levels of classification and secrecy that members of the Canadian Armed Forces and people at National Defence have to acquire, so why are we using non-disclosure agreements?
I put this to Mr. McSorley and Mr. Drapeau. Are those gag orders? Is it necessary for national security? Doesn't the existing legislation already provide that type of protection and the ability for those we trust with our national security to discern and make those types of decisions on their own?
