Sure. As I said before, some of the remarks we heard in testimony from the RCMP were reassuring in terms of numbers and judicial authorization. I also heard, however, those numbers change in the course of a day. I heard that the Privacy Commissioner was not apprised of what's going on. I also heard the RCMP itself, in direct response to a question, say, “Yes, we undertake surveillance of Canadians”, which would be silly not to say because that's part of their job.
The issue is precisely the lack of transparency and public accountability. The way we're entering into this conversation is kind of backwards, frankly. This was disclosed, it seems to me, almost by accident, and we shouldn't be having a conversation like this about this important topic in such a manner. That's not disinformation. What we're dealing with here is a very important question. We need to be mature about it and talk about it forthrightly, rather than casting aspersions on people who are bringing up these important issues.
