As I mentioned earlier, SIRC has unfettered access to CSIS facilities, to CSIS people, and CSIS information, with of course the exception of cabinet confidences. We can look at any information activity at CSIS. Under paragraph 8(b), it says “the appropriate Minister determines that the review would be injurious to national security” for the committee of parliamentarians. We have no such section in our enabling legislation in the CSIS Act.
