    "content": "Order, hon. Minister! There are tools available to you to discuss 2338 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 5, 2008 matters that are of secret nature and you can do that at the committee level. You can also seek an Adjournment Motion when the House sits in camera. Those are the two avenues that are open to Members of Parliament to ventilate on such issues and the Chair will not rule otherwise. Our national security, intelligence organs or financial institutions are areas which any country and sovereign State protects at all levels including at the legislative level. So, you can use those tools that are open to you. You have a relevant Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. Use that committee to summon the Minister and anybody else. You can use that provision. Should you decide to go beyond that and hold a full plenary, it has to be done also with the right Adjournment Motion and in camera."
