I'll just reread it.
Ignore for the moment amendment NDP-5, and just look at subsection 13(1). It says, “Despite any other Act of Parliament but subject to sections 14 and 16, the Committee is entitled to”, and then we would insert “send for persons, papers, and records, and to have access to any information”, and on it would go as it is.
That empowers the committee in the same way Standing Order 108 does for other parliamentary committees, although this is, of course, a committee of parliamentarians. It would provide the powers that the Conservative amendment and the NDP amendment are seeking, but it would make it easier going forward.
