That's one of the problems with Bill C-22. The stated purpose of the relationship between the existing bodies like SIRC and the parliamentary committee is to avoid duplication. That's the duty to co-operate in order to avoid duplication. I think you should be able to work together. One of the problems I see with what you refer to occurs in clause 8, which empowers the parliamentary committee to investigate national security activities. The problem is that the minister can say “No, you're not going to do that because it's injurious to national security.” The parliamentary committee has a very truncated jurisdiction. It's totally dependent upon the minister responsible.
