Yes, Mr. Chair, the next amendment by the Liberals is similar to this. I think we have an obligation as parliamentarians, given the concern we've heard before this committee. There is a considerable amount of support for the national security measures, no question about that, but there is a considerable amount of concern about where this bill may lead. People are worried about civil liberties and a number of other things, so knowing that, as we all do because we have heard from witnesses, we have an obligation to satisfy that public concern that at some point in the future this bill will be reviewed.
Ms James said there are sufficient safeguards. There are not. There is no Inspector General. The government cut that position, and we can't amend it. The proposal from John Major was disallowed. There is no oversight as our Five Eyes partners have, so there are not sufficient safeguards.
At least we could assure the public that we're protecting their interests, and based on experience, after a three-year period the bill would be reviewed by a future Parliament. It is our responsibility, knowing what we know now of the concerns, to see that this happens, and I would hope the government members would support that.
