All I can say is that back at the time we appeared before the Senate committee that was reviewing the Anti-terrorism Act, we did express concern that the Anti-terrorism Act and a number of its provisions did bring the RCMP back into the field of security and intelligence. We expressed that back in I guess it was November 2001.
This is just one experience along the way. I believe it will be up to parliamentarians to decide whether or not the decision that was made in the Anti-terrorism Act to include that area of policy is the right one.
I do accept that we are in an era in which there needs to be a great deal of integration of the different agencies. There is the Canada Border Services Agency, and there are obviously the police at various levels and CSIS involved a great deal in anti-terrorism today. So I think it might be hard to unscramble the egg at this point and say there isn't a role for them.
The key, which is the second half of what Mr. O'Connor is looking at and the concern we expressed at that time, was that there would be two different levels of scrutiny and review or oversight, that they'd be held to different standards. That is, I think, what is now being addressed and may go a long way to solve the concern you've stated.
