Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, gentlemen, for participating in this.
I want to go over some ground and make sure I understand your depositions correctly.
Maybe I'll start with you, Mr. Fadden. I detected a certain amount of reticence in your remarks in regard to some of the risks associated with having a committee of parliamentarians. In my mind, however this committee is composed after the amendments pass or do not pass—it's all in the future, so we don't really know—presumably a party's leadership is going to want to have individuals who are worthy enough to be sworn into the Privy Council. Presumably, there's going to be some sort of swearing in at the Privy Council so that you can be given secrets. That's how we do it in our system.
You are talking about people who are likely to be—and I think invariably will be—people who are trustworthy, who are honourable members, and who want to represent Canadian interests appropriately. I guess I'm trying to reassure you that the risks associated with that are as low as when CSIS hires somebody and sometimes they turn out to be Snowden—unfortunately. Am I running this analogy too far, or do you see my point of view as well?
