Thank you for the question, Ms. Jennings.
Of course, the Sûreté du Québec and, of course, its senior officers are members of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police. This association, for several years now, 10 years, if I am not mistaken, has stressed the importance of modernizing communications interception techniques so that telecommunications providers are willing and able to assist the police in intercepting communication, when they have legal authorization to do so.
To answer your question, I would say that, right now, some types of communication technologies that we have at our disposal must be modernized because communications are very difficult to intercept. Bill C-47, that you mentioned, and its predecessor, Bill C-74, would resolve a longstanding problem which was mentioned in the Council of Europe's Convention on Cybercrime, negotiated in Budapest. We unequivocally support that bill.
