Mr. Speaker, I find this interesting. The member opposite is accusing me of always giving him the same answers. What am I supposed to do if he keeps asking me the same questions? Do I have a choice?
Let us be clear. There was a security breach, which I deplore as much as my colleague, but he is not the only one who is concerned with the safety of Canadians.
When a security breach occurs, and it does happen unfortunately because our systems rely on humans who sometimes make mistakes, there is a process in place to deal with that.
My colleague knows full well that this very House established two institutions at the same time as the Canadian Security Intelligence Service: the Inspector General and the Security Intelligence Review Committee, or SIRC. Both are investigating these matters.
Both institutions are totally independent and have unrestricted access to all CSIS documents.
These matters to which my colleague referred are being reviewed by these two institutions. There was absolutely no obligation on the part of the minister to inform SIRC. It is not his duty. SIRC is a review committee.
I somewhat deplore the fact that, as soon as an incident occurs, my colleague opposite always has the same reaction: first he panics, then he questions the value of institutions that were established by this parliament to deal with these matters.
Again, I am sorry to say that if I am asked the same question tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, in three weeks or in a month, I will give the same answer.
