To my knowledge, when a warrant was necessitated, yes, we used the warrant and the judiciary process was followed. Very often the politicians or elected officials, as I like to say, were not necessarily the initial target, but they actually came to our attention when we were watching foreign intelligence officers or foreign criminals or Canadian criminals being in contact with them. It became a concern to either CSIS or the the RCMP when these people demonstrated certain activities or certain actions that were questionable in light of the responsibility of their office.
