I guess at first blush what I would answer is that it is important and vital to have a balance between security measures on the one hand and the protection of the privacy of Canadians on the other hand. I know that this objective is not easily attained, but I think this is what it is all about. Security measures are important in our day and age, as we all know. It's vital for our country, but on the other hand, I don't think this should be detrimental to privacy rights.
