Classified disinformation

Surely this part of Wajid Khan's Question Period appearance has to be the worst April Fool's joke of all:
Khan was unwilling to give a clear answer, however, when asked about whether he would be submitting a report about that trip.

"I would not want to jeopardize the security of our troops. I would not want to compromise national security," Khan said.
About the most charitable possible interpretation is that Khan simply didn't bother listening to the question before spouting off the Cons' usual spin to justify not sharing any findings with anybody besides PMS.

But is it possible that Khan honestly believes that even saying whether or not he will be submitting a report would result in a threat to national security? And if so, why was he so willing to endanger our security last year with his clear (if inaccurate) answer to exactly the same question?
