Thank you.
At the very beginning of my presentation, I said that I was favourable in principle to the scheme outlined here, but rather, I sought to provide a greater framework. In fact, Parliament has already provided somewhat of a framework. For example, certain acts are altogether excluded: murder; wilful attempt to obstruct or pervert the course of justice; any conduct that would violate the sexual integrity of an individual. So there's one example.
Moreover, we've decided to exclude any use of these provisions to run counter to the collection of evidence. And finally, we've excluded the use of these provisions for the purposes of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. There's a whole separate set of provisions that address those.
Therefore, my concern is not so much that we can't trust the police officers--not in the least. In fact, I'm taking my guidance from the testimony that you yourselves received from police officers, namely the RCMP. I'm saying they've set up internal guidelines that they feel are important to make sure that this functions properly. Let's take their example and let's include that within legislation, not because we don't trust them but because they're good ideas, ideas that they're using anyway. Perhaps this can provide a framework for--let's not forget it--the other police forces that are entitled to use this, such as the provincial police forces.
So let's take the example of our police officers, as you suggest, and let's pay heed to them. That's my suggestion.
