I have an idealistic and a practical response to that. My idealistic response would be yes, that would have been great, and that's what we argued for when we had hearings on Bill C-51. My concern, though, is that we have an act in place now that's been operational for over a year, so how can we practically remove it?
I certainly do agree with the underpinning philosophy of Mr. Cavalluzzo, but I don't know where we are today. I think what we need to start with today are the serious problems that have been identified in our conversation this morning, including such things as a consolidated definition, such things as intelligence and evidence, and, very particularly, what I said in my opening statement with regard to the specific concerns in SCISA, where we have a definition that's overbroad, nothing in that act that ensures we have reliable information, no legally enforceable caveats, and two open potential charter land mines with respect to sections 7 and 8. If you're looking for practical fixes on this particular piece of legislation, I would say to please start there if you can't get rid of it altogether.
