When you talk about monitoring and accountability, it makes me think of the G20 Summit, when special powers were in effect. It appears that no such powers were actually granted, but people were made to believe that the police had been given special powers. There have been human rights violation claims, which turned out to be valid. The Minister of Public Safety testified before the committee and said that he was not responsible for anything and was virtually unaware of anything.
Yet, you are asking us to give you more powers, to give more powers to the police, to law enforcement agencies, and not to worry because the Minister of Public Safety will act as something of a guarantee that everything will be monitored. How do you expect us to believe this after the recent events at the G20 Summit and the minister simply washing his hands of the whole thing?
