We will lay out in the legislation the exact mandate of the committee of parliamentarians. Obviously, I can't pre-empt the legislation, Mr. Dubé. You'll understand the parliamentary rules on that one. However, this committee will have the authority to examine all of the security intelligence activities of the Government of Canada, with two objectives: are those activities effective in keeping Canadians safe, and are they safeguarding the rights and values and freedoms of Canadians?
They will have extraordinary access to classified information. That's why the members of this new committee will be sworn to the top security level and will be able to examine information and activities and operations to ensure that they are meeting the standards that Canadians would want met. In terms of how that is expressed in the legislation, I'll have to leave that to the tabling of the legislation, but it will accomplish that objective.
