Thank you very much for that.
My question is to the witnesses now. In relation to what you've heard in terms of the powers of Parliament in order to ensure that these things are.... We deal with serious issues here, not many beyond the seriousness of COVID but also issues of national security. These are processes that we have undertaken before to ensure the protection of national security information. It becomes a matter of whether or not you trust our Parliament in many ways. It's important that Canadians understand that we're having a relationship with corporations that should in fact be able to comply with the rules and regulations in Canada, but also to comply with the democratic process.
My question directly, and I'll follow up in some subsequent rounds....
I also want to make mention of the fact that I am very pleased to hear the member from Medicago is willing to release that information. I think that's important to our process. Your willingness demonstrates your ability and knowledge of our system.
To the other witnesses, are you not confident in the processes we utilize in this place to ensure that we have confidentiality needs protected?
Maybe we'll go through all the present witnesses first.
