This particular clause is dealing with applications for warrants within or outside Canada. I think putting in a stipulation that the Minister of Public Safety or departments have to speak with the Minister of Foreign Affairs is obviously not necessary when we're dealing with issues within Canada.
I also want to stress that in terms of these departments and ministers, there is already consultation going on. Putting it in here would make it a requirement even for warrants within Canada.
For those reasons I cannot support this amendment.
