Mr. Chair, we've moved this amendment because of the most recent report from SIRC. In that report, SIRC says very clearly that CSIS did not provide complete and accurate information to the review committee, and they did not always provide it in a timely manner. When I read through the act, I didn't find any such express obligation placed on CSIS. This simply takes a problem that SIRC has encountered and puts it into the legislation so that it's very clear to CSIS that they do have the responsibility, upon request, to provide complete and accurate information in a timely manner. It's not a change in powers, but it's as it says in the legislation “for greater certainty” that CSIS is obligated to take this action.
