Mr. Speaker, I have an appreciation for the fact that memory can sometimes be a selective thing in this place.
However, the Liberals are forgetting that it is not the first time a national security adviser, or a former one, would have appeared before committee. In 2010, the same committee, despite the heckling, had a report on comments made in the media by Mr. Richard Fadden. He came before committee, clarified remarks, and then a report came out. It is not that complicated.
I know there are concerns about what it means for issues of national security. The member has quite eloquently pointed out the ability to go in camera and things like that. To just talk about the lack of respect for public servants is ludicrous.
I sit on that committee. This morning, who did we have? We had representatives from CSC and the Canadian Armed Forces. Two weeks ago, when the Minister of Public Safety was there, we had the deputy minister, folks from the RCMP, and folks from CSIS. This is a regularly occurring thing.
Certainly, if there is any kind of sensitivity, we can trust the judgment of parliamentarians to know when we need to take these things in camera, when there are questions that need to be asked.
