Again, I'm no lawyer, but I think there are sufficient thresholds built in not just with regard to the security of Canada, but also for demonstrating intent with regard to committing political violence. I think this intent provision is very important. I am not concerned. I can understand some of the concerns that individuals might have, but I think we also need to look at past practice, and that both CSIS and the RCMP have way more important things to do with their lives.
I am sufficiently satisfied that the provision that is written would not give either a security intelligence or a criminal intelligence service licence or ability to interrupt or criminalize lawful protest activity.
