Both Craig and I have testified previously on Bill C-22, and my view is that it's important to be realistic about what is proposed in C-22 as a practice, and what is necessary. Any time you give a committee of parliamentarians access to highly sensitive information, you have to surround that access with controls and protections. The challenge is to make sure that, in doing that, you don't intrude too much on the work of the committee itself.
From my perspective, C-22 reaches a reasonable balance in that regard. I don't regard the control, as you put it, of the Prime Minister's Office over the information flow as something that is likely to impact, in practice, the ability of the committee to do its work. It has many challenges ahead of it. It has only just recently, as you know, been set up in terms of members that are going to appear. The executive director has not yet been appointed. It's very much in its infancy, but my view is basically that the legislation should hit a reasonable balance until we learn otherwise through experience.
