What would be the response of the government, then, if we had a foreign intelligence agency collecting intelligence in Canada in contravention of Canadian laws? How do you deal with that? There seems to be a normal principle, which I think is called comity of international law, by which we don't violate each other's sovereignty and we don't conduct illegal surveillance in each other's countries, which to me, would seem to be part of that.
If we're now telling people we might be doing that to them, what would our response be to another country saying it is going to do the same thing in Canada?
