The way we read this, it would expand in an unclear way what CSE could do. The section we're talking about is saying that certain specific things are not subject to the restriction of not directing it at Canadians or people in Canada. The intent here is to focus on things that have a low expectation of privacy or no expectation of privacy. That's why the definition of infrastructure information explicitly excludes any information that could be linked to an identifiable individual, so again something that has a very low or no expectation of privacy is not connected to a person.
By adding “electronic information”, you're expanding it to all information in electronic form. You're adding that to the carve-out so it will expand what CSE can do. In addition, at the end of that section, I think this amendment would change where it says it's using that infrastructure information to provide information assurance activities on the infrastructure from which the information was acquired. Whereas doing the second part of this amendment, and saying it has to be in accordance with section 18, section 18 is our entire mandate, so again it's broadening that significantly as well.
