My concern is that we see from time to time in Parliament an issue that is sensitive, that is urgent—for example, the screening of Syrian refugees—and the system is in place may have some deficiencies. This committee may have wanted to study it, but were told no. We were just outnumbered by the tyranny of the majority. Do you see it as a concern that what parliamentarians possibly should be studying in standing committees could, by virtue of the government's wanting to keep it out of the public eye, be deferred to this special committee?
