Mr. Chair, the government does not support this amendment. In our view, it is counterproductive to other proposals in Bill C-13 that seek to harmonize the periods of validity of warrants and orders that are used in conjunction with wiretap authorizations.
As Madam Boivin will know, in the context of section 184.2 of the Criminal Code with respect to consent wiretaps, which are primarily used for undercover operations in the organized crime context, such a limitation makes little sense and would create an inconsistent approach between consent wiretaps and regular wiretaps. On that basis, we will not be supporting this amendment, Mr. Chair.
