Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank our witnesses for being here.
I thank the RCMP for their work.
We on the Conservative side here do believe that we want to make sure you guys have the tools to do the job so that you can keep Canadians safe and deal with issues of national security and public safety at all times, but there's also the need to protect the rights of Canadians, the privacy of Canadians and their charter rights. There are concerns about the unintended consequences of deploying ODITs and the potential that those who aren't necessarily being targeted are also being spied on using the technology that you have.
There has also been confusion here, because when we had the response to the Order Paper question tabled by the RCMP via the parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Public Safety in the House back in June, it talked about 10 or 12 cases where ODIT was used. Then, in the rather disappointing letter that came from Commissioner Lucki, it talks about 32 investigations. Now you're saying that there were 49 individuals who were spied on. The number continues to move, Mr. Larkin, and we're all very concerned about where the truth lies. I think that's why we need to have better clarity on the information we have.
We already know that you're not using Pegasus, but you do have a technology. Is it made in Canada? What's the country of origin of this technology that you're using in your investigations?
