Absolutely. Thank you, Chair.
This is following testimony from the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. It is an amendment that seeks public reporting on the number of warrants requested for the use of CSIS's threat disruption powers. Those who were on the committee at the time will recall that Mr. Coulombe, director, was testifying there was a troubling lack of clarity after the use of those powers, even though they confirmed that they had been used. We believe this is appropriate in order to have a better understanding of these powers, which are not really supposed to be part of CSIS's mandate. Its raison d'être is to not have these types of powers, but that's a debate we'll get to with later amendments.
It also seeks to have public reporting on the activities carried out by the national security and intelligence review agency. This is, once again, in keeping with the spirit of accountability and transparency that the agency seeks to accomplish, by having public reports on its activities.
