Nathaniel Erskine-Smith at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

I wasn't exactly clear.

We had the department before us last week. They said the collection authorities have not changed. Therefore, if, for example, the RCMP were seeking to receive information that would have required a warrant before SCISA, it would still be required to obtain a warrant and to accept the information through SCISA.

You mentioned, in response to Mr. Lightbound's question, that perhaps it wouldn't need to obtain a warrant now after SCISA. I just wondered if you could explain that a little bit more. It sounded contrary to what the department official said last week.
