Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This is an attempt, as suggested by Professors Forcese and Roach, that following Criminal Code subsection 25.4 for police and those who are affected by CSIS's activities that are now kinetic and under warrant, that within a year of taking that action, the person who's impacted should be notified that these steps were taken. They're not party to any of the hearings. They don't know this may have affected their lives. Obviously we need some balance in notifying people after the fact, and that's why my amendment is rather long.
I won't be able to read it into the record, but it is important to note that while this amendment would require the director notify someone no later than one year after taking such a measure, the minister would be allowed to notify the director that in this case there's an ongoing investigation or it could hinder something, or it's a security issue, and to not tell the person. But if the person has been exonerated, nothing was found, but their charter rights were violated under a warrant under subsection 21(1), let them know about it after the fact.
