Thank you, Mr. Chair, and my thanks to all the witnesses for your presentations and attendance.
As you can understand, this committee, and certainly the government, has an unenviable task as it attempts to balance civil liberties and security of its nation.
Professor Forcese, I have a couple of follow-up questions based on your dialogue with Ms. Mendes. You were referring to Bill C-19, the former anti-terrorism legislation that expired in 2006. I think it was her suggestion that it did more to punish terrorists than it did to prevent terrorism. I don't know if you were able to set her straight on that suggestion or if you agreed with Ms. Mendes when she made that suggestion.
