When people from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police or the Canadian Security Intelligence Service appear before the committee, we take surveillance tools for granted. It's expected. When people from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans or the Department of the Environment appear together, it's assumed that you're monitoring trees or the ocean.
There are no doubt good reasons for doing this, but I'd like to hear what you have to say about it. Is it proportionate to the risk you are attempting to mitigate?
