Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We are going to vote in favour of this amendment for all the same reasons that my colleague Don Davies talked about. First of all, we are fundamentally opposed to this bill, which we find completely unacceptable from a human rights standpoint because it could infringe upon those rights. Furthermore, the bill is absolutely unnecessary because the current Criminal Code and current investigative measures do enough to address any risk of a terrorist attack.
In addition, since it was passed, this piece of legislation has hardly been used. We have heard that from a number of witnesses. So the obvious conclusion is that this bill serves no purpose.
That said, I still believe it is important to put a time limit on the provisions in question, and I think two years is completely reasonable. We will vote in favour of this amendment even though we are wholly opposed to this bill.
