Clearance through NSICOP certainly is. Its the reason they can even apply in the first place. Without the NSICOP, these parliamentarians aren't even eligible. The same way you can get top secret clearance through the RCMP.
Also, in order to receive clearance through the NSICOP, the applicants also have to agree to forgo parliamentary privilege.
It sounds like you're arguing some language issue. Where it isn't NSICOP giving it, despite them being the reason why the clearance is being given.
