Absolutely. I'm not disputing that at all.
The question is whether the previous authorities were sufficient, whether this new legislation was necessary, and, regardless, whether there are appropriate safeguards to ensure that this worthwhile activity does not create risks beyond those that are necessary.
Again, I would point out the risk to law-abiding citizens, to taxpayers, to travellers. There's no rule at this point in this bill that says that after information has been analyzed with a view to detecting national security threats, as it should be—that for the vast majority, for 99.99% of the people, whose information is shared—it should be destroyed ASAP.
