Part VI of the Criminal Code—and I remind the committee that I'm not a lawyer, although I work for a legal advocacy organization—is generally written to be technologically neutral and to allow for the right kinds of inquiries to be made with the right safeguards, but, because the technology has changed so fundamentally my point was simply that those who are expert in the use of this part should ideally be allowed to comment on the ways in which it should be enhanced. I'm not the best person to comment on it; I simply wish to flag that it was a really important consideration.
