| Message | Mr. Speaker We are fundamentally against the release of classified material, especially that information which is a possible threat to national security. However should the Liberals wish to go this path, further regulations need to be imposed so that this is done properly. It needs to be stated explicitly who has the authority, either individuals or government organizations to classify information. There should also be an additional amendment that gives the Chancellor or the Senate the write to vote to extend the seal of classified files.
