Could we hear from somebody—I don't know whether it would be Department of Justice people or the parliamentary secretary or who.... We are all trying to struggle with this. We think we know what the intention was, but was there some thought that went into the breadth of permission? We all get the good faith thing, with all due respect. It is a defence if it isn't in good faith—or not a defence; it's prohibited if it's not in good faith. But why would it be police forces, Canadian Forces, and a department or agency of a federal or provincial government? Why is it so broad? Maybe we need to know a little more about law enforcement to answer that question.
