Again, it's always a balancing act that Parliament and the courts have in balancing the rights of individuals with respect to privacy and their right to live freely and without fear of harm. I outlined a couple of situations, and you may hear from whatever witnesses you have here, where police come across a situation where somebody, for instance, is in imminent harm or a serious crime is about to be committed. If they intercept that and get information on it, they may be able to intervene and protect the individuals or property subject to imminent threat.
One of the interesting things about the Supreme Court of Canada decision in R. v. Tse, when you have a look at it carefully, is that the courts agree and understand that on occasion this type of power has to be available to police officers. What they have said is, “Yes, we understand it; that part of it is okay but you have to do something beyond that to ensure that this is not abused. It's important that there be some clarification and some accountability with respect to this”. So what we're doing here is basically bringing this into line with the other provisions of the Criminal Code with respect to reporting, and narrowing the group of individuals to whom this applies. Again, that's what you will see when you have a look at this: yes, we're complying, but we go a bit beyond that as well. I think that's important.
