Good afternoon, Minister.
I have some questions for you on the consequences Bill C-26 is going to have on the work of private security agencies.
First, will the changes proposed in this bill affect the work of security agents? And moreover, by broadening the provisions governing citizens' arrests, are we not opening the door to possible abuse on the part of security agents? Finally, should there not be more restrictive regulations governing security agents in order to limit their powers, so as to distinguish between ordinary citizens and merchants?
