When I look at the mandates that have been carved out for the committee of parliamentarians under Bill C-22, along with the existing mandates of all of the independent review bodies, what I'm having trouble with is how we get the two sides of the accountability coin co-operating together.
I took down from your comments, Mr. Cavalluzzo, that you see the committee of parliamentarians to be focused on efficacy, blue sky. As it exists, the mandate does say that one of the primary functions the committee of parliamentarians is to look at is the legislative policy and regulatory framework. At the same time, it speaks, in very broad language, about the new legislative body's ability to review the activities of any matter that relates to national security. The goalposts are very wide, in my opinion.
That overlaps with the existing mandates of all of the independent review bodies that currently exist as they have been statutorily rendered. What I want to hear from you, Mr. Cavalluzzo, is how you see us disentangling those two mandates. The best we have right now under Bill C-22 is under what would be clause 9, where we talk about co-operation for the purposes of reducing duplication of work.
