Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch and the Canadian Arab Federation for being here today.
To set some context for my question, as you may or may not know, the NDP is opposed to this piece of legislation and believes it could be done in a different way. We think security certificates actually undermine a number of democratic values that our country believes in and that our democracy is founded on, and therefore our job at this table is to ask the questions and, where possible, see that we do as little harm as can happen.
I'd like to first ask Amnesty International, if I might, what may be a bit of a side question, but not totally. A number of organizations, I think including yours in the past, have raised issues about flaws around security-related immigration procedures in general. Could you quickly—because I want to get to everybody, and maybe with different questions—share any brief comments you want to make with the committee on this topic?
