Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Noël, you'll forgive me, but since I only have two and a half minutes, we'll have to be brief.
As I'm always curious, I understand that independence—yours—is very real. It's understood. I think that both independence and the perception of independence are essential characteristics for a commissioner.
I would like to ask you a question that isn't directly related to the bill, but that often raises questions when we talk about intelligence and secrecy.
At the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics, of which I am a member, we often come up against cabinet secrecy. While I understand the use of cabinet confidence and recognize the need for it, we've noticed, in a couple of warrants and reports, a tendency to overclassify. I'm a little concerned about that. I understand the need for secrecy, but at the same time, there's still this paradox that we talked about earlier.
Do you have any recommendations on how we deal with cabinet confidence so that we can get the balance right?
