Madam Speaker, the suggestion that this committee is appropriate was basically rejected by the Speaker in his ruling today. In reference to the National Security Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians, he said:
However, as the members for Louis-Saint-Laurent and St. John’s East have pointed out, the act also makes clear that, despite its composition, this body is not a committee of Parliament. It exists outside of Parliament. In these circumstances, the Chair cannot conclude that the documents submitted to the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians fulfills an order of this House or of its committees.
That is very clear, and I invite you to refute that ruling.
