You have to agree though that this is somewhat different from search warrants. If a search warrant is executed in violation of a judge's orders, section 24 provides for the exclusion of evidence and can even result in a stay of proceedings. There are a number of legal precedents whereby evidence has been excluded because search warrants were improperly executed. I don't think comparing the improper execution of a search warrant to a legally authorized justification regime is a valid comparison.
I'd like to move right along to my second question, since the clock is running and our chairman is a stickler for time.
What additional safeguards would you like to see in place? Let's assume for the moment that no recommendation to do away with these provisions will be forthcoming, given that they are a useful law enforcement tool. What additional safeguards would you recommend? As you know, the regime provides for the designation of officials and their actions must be authorized by a senior official. Furthermore, as you know, the minister, or competent authority, must authorize their actions, except in case of emergency for a 24-hour period. What additional safeguards would you like to see in terms of resorting to this scheme?
