Madam Speaker, yes, I would go back to the parts of my speech where I talked about the committee basically going around in circles because the information it would be seeking might be “injurious to national security”. That just takes away from the purpose of the committee. How can it provide effective oversight if the minister could at any time claim that something is injurious to national security? If the committee then complains about it, the Prime Minister could withhold that information in the final report. We will just be going around in circles. That is not parliamentary oversight.
I will start with that as a very real amendment that needs to be made to the bill.
