Ms. Cherie Henderson (Director General, Policy and Foreign Relations, Canadian Security Intelligence Service) at the Public Safety and National Security Committee

I'll just clarify, for the service—and it's written in the Bill C-59—the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is the supreme law of Canada, and everything that we take or any measures shall comply with the charter. If we do want to limit, then we are required to go and get judicial authorization in order to be able to do that, so everything is bound by the judge. Within the service, we fully respect the charter and operate under that.
