Mr. Chair, I have to go back to the point that, even on publicly available information, it goes back to our mandate. We would access publicly available information only if it were related to our mandate, and we do not have a mandate that focuses on Canadians or anyone in Canada. For the particular case you're referring to, I understand the Privacy Commissioner is looking into it, and I guess the details around it are still unfolding, so I can speak only to our legislation. Again, it goes back to our mandate. It would be very specific: what's the case for which we would need it? Also, very much, the proposed legislation talks about two other things.
Number one, it says we'd have to have privacy protection measures in place, even for publicly available information. Number two, like every other aspect of the proposed legislation, it would be subject to review by the national Security Intelligence Review Committee. This is not CSE having the authority to go look at any publicly available information. It's very targeted and very focused on fitting within our mandate, and again, with privacy protection measures in place, and finally, with review from an independent review agency looking at all of our activities.
I hope that answers your question.
