I think Mr. Therrien touched on that problem, also. The whole point of having parliamentarians in a special committee that has special oversight, that is bound by secrecy, that is going to look at stuff in camera, and that is going to have security clearance is precisely to facilitate access to all the different kinds of information. If you start limiting it, and it's a national security thing that is worded in a very loose way, then that might reduce it quite a bit. In investigations where everything is going really well, then things are going to be perfectly fine, but when there's a public controversy or something like that, then it's going to start driving, and people are going to think that the committee is not going all the way to the bottom of the matter because some doors are blocked.
