Thank you, Mr. Chair, for your ruling. I have to say that I'm surprised the parliamentary secretary is able to anticipate what I'm going to say about this; it means she understands my argument.
I would like to finish reading from this proposed subsection, and only this subsection, Mr. Chair, on what is prohibited, just to remind people what I'm reading:
(b) wilfully attempt in any manner to obstruct, pervert or defeat the course of justice; or (c) violate the sexual integrity of an individual.
The only things, it seems to me, that are listed here are very extreme. I would like to hear testimony, then, on what is actually permitted to CSIS to do. If these are the only things prohibited, I need to hear testimony about what is actually allowed under this bill. This is why I'm raising it in terms of both the number of people we have and the number of witnesses per panel.
