Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses. It has been very informative and eye-opening for all of us here, knowing what is at stake.
I'll just follow up on the questioning Mr. Green started off on.
With my background in national defence and security, I hadn't even thought about how facial recognition technology is being used to violate the charter rights, and even the Criminal Code and the National Defence Act, which say you can't spy on someone directly or indirectly unless warrants have been issued or, in case of an imminent threat, ministerial authorization was given. There are checks and balances through that whole process.
When we start looking at the mass collection and mass surveillance using FRT, how do we even say it's possible when we know that there are supposed to be all these checks and balances under the Criminal Code, the charter and the National Defence Act as it applies to CSE? You think about CSIS and the Canada Border Services Agency, never mind the RCMP, OPP and all the other policing organizations that are out there.
I would be interested on a quick take from Mr. McSorley and Ms. McPhail on that.
