Ms. O'Connell, you're absolutely right. If the Leader of the Opposition was serious in understanding the information underlying the NSICOP report....
Ms. O'Connell has served on this committee of parliamentarians so would know this better than I do. The committee produced two reports. It produced a top secret report for the Prime Minister and for our intelligence agencies, and it produced a report that was released publicly earlier this week. The report released publicly was, of course, subject to all of the appropriate legislative protections. Mr. McGuinty has spoken about this publicly.
If the Leader of the Opposition was interested in seeing the highly sensitive information that the committee of parliamentarians saw that informed their top secret version of the report, he would simply have to indicate that he is prepared to receive the appropriate security clearances. Then he would have access to that information in the way that, for example, the leader of the New Democratic Party can. In the difficult world of intelligence information, which comes with caveats and the need to protect sources and methods, that, to me, is a responsible, thoughtful way to do it. It's not the path that Conservatives have chosen.
I thought your speculation as to some of the reasons, Ms. O'Connell, was absolutely valid.
