I thank the member for his numerous questions.
The first response would be that some of the questions go beyond the scope of the law, and I have clearly stated that this bill is crafted to ensure it responds to the invitation of the courts.
All western countries are faced with the challenge of terrorism. I have here a press release from my U.K. counterpart, Theresa May, who is coming up with more than eight measures to tackle terrorism and says that time for new policies is required, and why? Because we need to adjust to this threat, that's clear.
I've clearly demonstrated this afternoon that we are doing it while respecting the Constitution with the amicus curiae in the protection of witnesses whenever someone is accused.
The member has asked a question on oversight. Clearly this is going beyond the scope of this bill, but we have a clear mechanism that is working and will ensure that while CSIS is protecting Canadians, there is robust oversight.
I would say, Mr. Chair, that to me it is clear that there is no liberty without security.
