I want to go back to Mr. Lightbound's question about the necessity testing being tied to the charter as opposed to the federal program. I'm looking for just a little more education, maybe.
It seems to me that tying into the charter would be less restrictive than tying into the program, because federal programs and collection of information would be.... You could make a charter challenge if you felt for some reason that the government was, for the purposes of a program, collecting information that violated your charter rights, information that they didn't have a right to have or a right to collect. That would be something for the courts to determine. Having a further necessity test that's tied to the purposes of the program is actually a restriction within that larger restriction.
Isn't that how it works? If someone felt that the government was violating their charter rights by collecting information in a certain way, they could take that to court, and having the necessity test tied to the federal program would be a restriction within that—or do I just not understand how those two things interact?
