The important thing here is proposed subsection 8(2) that was already mentioned. The mandate includes reviewing one aspect of the service's work in threat reduction. The concern, I guess, with the amendment is that proposed paragraph (b) implies a review of all applications for warrants. In a way, there's a confusion or potential expansion of a mandate, which is really a reporting amendment. It's not really directly answering your question in terms of the security implications, but there's certainly a mandate conflict with 8(2), which is meant to be the scope of the reporting on threat reduction.
