Mr. Speaker, I am pretty surprised. I did not talk about the Leader of the Opposition at all. The funny thing is that, now that the member has mentioned it, I will actually respond with this: Richard Fadden, the former CSIS director, said, “The whole objective of the security clearance process at the level of the federal government is to make sure that classified information is not passed on, except to people with security clearances.”
The short answer to the question that was posed to him is that there is no way of doing it. He needs a security clearance. The Prime Minister was correct, I think, when he explained at some length that being a privy councillor does not give one access to information. He was right. The member needs security clearance to be given that information.
