I think it should be independent oversight, i.e., oversight by a body that is not part of the executive and is independent from the executive. Then you get into questions of mechanics, which I don't have a definitive view on. There are currently three oversight bodies: one for the RCMP, one for CSIS, and one for CSEC. The gap in my view is that certain other departments are not subject to independent oversight for their national security activities. My recommendation is that some independent oversight apply to them, but should it be one of the three or should it be something that would replace the three? I don't have clear views on that, other than the body or bodies in question should be independent from the executive.
