I'm of the opinion, when I read clause 9, that there is no unnecessary duplication. I'll speak specifically to the mandate of SIRC and what I see as the intended mandate of the committee of parliamentarians.
Absolutely there could be some duplication in the sense that the committee of parliamentarians may be looking at—and we'll use an example of information sharing among 17 agencies that deal with national security. SIRC will only have the mandate to look at information sharing from the nexus of CSIS, and we would look very deeply into the CSIS organization in doing so. Could the committee of parliamentarians and SIRC be looking at the same items or the same operations? Absolutely we could be, but I would guess and I would put out today that we would be looking at them from a different nexus.
