Actually the problem is secret evidence, of course, but you know, in protecting these fundamental values that now are part of the international law that Canada adheres to through different conventions and treaties, we are protecting every single individual around this table. These are our rights that we're talking about, not the rights only of criminal elements who are going to endanger society; it's the right of every person not to be deprived of his freedom without due process. This is the only thing we're trying to stress--that if we want due process, we are not getting it with these amendments.
