The courts are the guardians of it if the case actually gets to court. This again is where we come back to the difficulties, certainly in the civil litigation context. Civil litigation is really out of the question for the vast majority of Canadians. It's not affordable; it's not an option. If you're a person who lives in social housing, you're not going to bring a civil action even if there is the possibility of a contingency agreement against the private security guard who roughed you up maybe once, twice, or multiple times.
It's a real concern. For all of us who are concerned about liberty and equality, these are basic things that Parliament in good faith is trying to get at with respect to Mr. Chen: the right not to have your property invaded. But there are competing liberty interests at stake here, and we have to be cognizant of how these changes will be operationalized. That's where this private security dimension comes in, and we really can't get around that.
