Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I apologize that I'm not with you guys in person today. I'm dealing with overland flooding in the riding, and in my own yard.
First I want to direct my questions to Mr. Farooq and Mr. Mohammad. I want to drill down deeper, because as we go forward in this regulatory process, I want to make sure that we check all the boxes of which legislation we need to focus in on.
You've already mentioned CSIS and the RCMP. You've also talked about the Criminal Code amendments that are going to have to happen, as well as Privacy Act and PIPEDA. I know that under national defence, the CSE is mainly listening in on online chatter. Maybe it has the formula we need, because for it to listen to any Canadian or to any of our Five Eyes allies, it can't do indirectly what you're not allowed to do directly. It has to get warrants or ministerial authorizations for issues surrounding national security and national defence.
Is that what you're suggesting are the steps we need to take to ensure the charter rights of Canadians are protected?
