Thank you, Mr. Garrison, for bringing that forward. I'm not sure whether it's within the total scope of the actual bill that's before us, because we're not dealing with anything necessarily associated with SIRC, but I think, according to the information I have, that the whole issue of SIRC oversight is contained in section 39 of the CSIS Act. It's already in there. It achieves the same objectives. Of course SIRC is the oversight body. It oversees the actions of CSIS. It's just provided a report, as you know. That's its job and it's already doing it. So I'm not going to support this amendment. Whether it's within the scope or not—I think it might possibly be outside of the scope of what's being dealt with in Bill C-44—for obvious reasons, I'm not supporting it.
