Thank you, Chair.
I'll move a subamendment that a new paragraph (o.1) would include respecting:
(i) sharing of information and cooperation between the Commission and the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency or between the Commission and any other prescribed federal entity,
(ii) referral of complaints by the Commission—
Do I need to read all of these into the record?
No. Okay. Thank you. Then I'll go quickly to the explanation.
This provides for Governor in Council regulation-making power with respect to information sharing, the referral of complaints, joint proceedings and co-operation between federal review bodies such as the PCRC and NSIRA. We think this is important because if there are overlaps or national security matters, we want them to be able to be investigated but also to protect national security matters. We also want the reverse, so if something were to come forward with NSIRA that perhaps should be looked at through the PCRC, this would allow that information sharing and the ability for multiple agencies to be able to do work based on these investigations.
Thank you.
