We certainly echo the concerns of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada as well as those of a number of organizations. We have our own concerns. The notion that simply sharing information should be the panacea for everything that is wrong has become ubiquitous. It is really incredibly problematic, not only from the perspective of security for innocent Canadians, but also from a security perspective. More hay does not make a situation in which it is any easier to find the needle. We need not more information but important and specific information, and so weeding that out is critical.
Bill C-51 is problematic for so many reasons, including the fact that our colleagues here in the U.K. have said that civic and social engagement is the key to ensuring that we don't have increased recruitment. Yet when we have the provisions in Bill C-51 that say that preventing the glorification of terrorism in general will prevent, as any number of security experts have said, the effective engagement of people predisposed, we have to make sure we're dealing with the unintended consequences of our well-meaning legislation, and I urge the committee to do that.
