Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Hearing from several members of our committee now, you can see there are a few disputes. One is on the nature of what you believe Parliament's role is and one is what we believe your role is.
I will clarify my position on this clearly, which is that I do believe that Canadians deserve the kind of transparency and democratic government that a free society would expect for those who are operating commercially in Canada.
I was disappointed to hear Jean-Pierre Baylet's comments and I won't return to it now. I believe your position is well noted in the record that you oppose the perspective that this committee would, in fact, have some role of breaching your perception of confidentiality, given the fact that we have offered you a confidential process that would actually guarantee that.
It's sufficient for all other means, particularly national security means, but apparently it's not good enough for you, which is a big problem for Canadians. I will make that note known in our report. It's something that I will, hopefully, mention to the government as well.
To the other members, is it your perspective that the confidential process of Canada's Parliament is insufficient for the purposes of reviewing your contracts in a confidential way?
