If you put it on the record, he will be aware.
What's important to me is for us to have protections in place that will allow people to know that their information is not going to be abused but, at the same time, enable us to catch up with the rest of the world in allowing law enforcement to investigate and prosecute dangerous criminals who are causing harm to our country today. In my view, having a system that allows you to request information but not a requirement that the information exists would leave an obvious gap that would render the legislation ineffective.
Again, not to speak for my colleague, but if there are proposals that you think will not eat away at the ability for law enforcement to do their job but will offer superior protections to Canadians' privacy—we're members of Parliament, we have the opportunity to put forward proposals and amendments to bills—I think that that would be, if you deem it appropriate, the best use of your energy as a committee.
