But if I could, Minister, to be very specific, among the key recommendations out of O'Connor was the need to have oversight over every area involved in security and intelligence. As an example, there is no oversight at all over immigration or over the Canada Border Services Agency. Also as an example, the RCMP has extremely limited oversight, whereby the office of the public complaints commissioner is unable to proactively initiate investigations; his office is unable to force or compel testimony.
All of these commissions of inquiry have been saying for a period of five years that this is absolutely critical as we move forward in dealing with security and intelligence matters, yet there is nothing on these matters in the so-called action plan that you reference, despite the fact that the government, after each one of these inquiries, has said that they would act on the provisions with regard to oversight.
Can the minister, through you, Mr. Chair, not agree with me that it is very difficult to see supporting measures like this in the absence of vigorous oversight?
