Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Before I go any further, I do want to state that I would have a recorded vote on this particular amendment.
Essentially, the wording as it currently is in the legislation is “defensive cyber operations or active cyber operations aspects of its”—“its” being the CSE—“mandate must not be directed at a Canadian or at any person in Canada.”
My amendment would add “and must not infringe a right or freedom guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.” This is in keeping with the preamble. Again, it's something that some may argue is redundant, but I feel that the more it's codified, the better.
