Investigative powers for the 21st century.
Certainly I'll pass on to the House leader that you're very anxious to get that bill passed. This would certainly be a beautiful thing.
Yes, I have talked with law enforcement agencies. Updating the Criminal Code with respect to the investigative tools within the Criminal Code is very important to them.
As I've said before, Mr. Chairman, criminals don't just phone each other any more. They've gotten out of the habit of sending telegrams to each other. So the laws of this country have to be updated to reflect the current state of technology. So the bills we have with respect to lawful access and investigative powers are another priority for this government.
Again, I'll pass on to the government House leader how anxious some members of the Liberal Party apparently are to get this passed. I say to hang tough in there, and let's get those bills passed.
