Madam Speaker, that committee has a particular role. The concern at the time was that we had these secret investigative bodies, like CSIS, the CSE and the RCMP security division, conducting secret operations on behalf of the government. They were reporting directly to the Prime Minister, and there was no oversight.
We had obviously gotten into trouble in the past with some of the behaviours of our security services that were inappropriate, doing things they should not have done, such as breaking the law, breaking various conventions and acting in a manner that was supportive of torture in certain cases, and the Canadian government was sued.
Therefore, the purpose of that was to review what went on in these agencies and make reports to provide that oversight, not to do the kind of job we are talking about here.
