Thank you.
When I put my hand up to get on the speakers list, I didn't realize the situation in New Zealand. I was going to suggest that we suspend or defer the debate on this clause until maybe after the vote, to give the clerk or somebody time to find that out.
I'm not going to ask for that now. Hearing that there is at least one country that upholds the protection of parliamentary privilege has made up my mind on how I'm going to vote.
I would further comment, Mr. Chair, that through this bill and other avenues, if the drafters or the government is worried about confidentiality and what have you, I think there are enough tools in place, if I can use the word “tools”, that this will happen regardless. I intend to support this.
