Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much to all our witnesses. A lot of times in the public safety committee and as Canadians we tend to think of public safety issues and justice issues around those front-line crimes against the person. It's a sobering reminder to have everyone here today testify about some very real and imminent threats to our country, both past and present, something that hopefully we can work to deter in the future. Your testimony today brought a real economic point to what Canadians have faced in these tragic events in the past, so thank you for sharing a bit of your story and for your courage in testifying today.
Ms. Basnicki, you mentioned that the vitality of our democracy is not only measured by its liberties but by the balance of how we enjoy those liberties and what reasonable measures we put in place to ensure that some of our liberties aren't affected. For instance, our right to safety and security is only philosophical, in my opinion, if we don't put in steps like this bill to actually take tangible steps to protect those sorts of things.
From the perspective of your membership—maybe I'll open this question to everybody—you've spoken on behalf of the group and said, yes, you're very supportive of this. What kind of feedback do you hear from your groups about the tools and techniques that are going to be used in this legislation and on whether or not people feel those are reasonable applications and are not broaching on people's right to complete civil liberty?
