As I mentioned in my opening remarks, the law was enacted in 2001 following the events of September 11. In the meantime, the technology has evolved. The legal landscape has evolved. The threat environment has evolved. The law has not kept up. That's why I'm pushing for those amendments to the National Defence Act. We've been waiting for the last 12 years.
My predecessor, the Right Honourable Antonio Lamer, said that since it was a temporary affair—this was in 2005—temporarily he would abide with the law as interpreted by the Department of Justice. Sometimes my predecessors and I don't necessarily agree with the legal interpretation given by the Department of Justice. Therefore, it's because of those ambiguities and so on.... I'm told that those amendments that we've been asking for over the last 12 years should be put forward in the near future.
