Madam Speaker, the member's question gives me an opportunity to come back to an important theme that runs through the debate going on right now, which NSICOP members have been scrupulously careful not to directly participate in because of our special responsibilities. I mentioned the significant constraints that we all carry with respect to sharing information and the fact that our parliamentary privilege is waived in the context of the work we undertake. I know the member understands that and respects it.
I want to add to comments I made earlier, for his benefit and for the House's benefit, on government direction to the committee, a theme that has been raised in different places. The government has never pressured the committee to select or avoid a topic for review. It has never pressured the committee to change a finding or a recommendation. I think all members of our NSICOP committee would agree that we jealously guard the integrity and independence of the committee because we are seized with such profoundly important responsibilities in the area of national security and intelligence.
