I support my colleague's amendment. I proposed the next amendment, which, depending on the fate of this one, sought to, at the minimum, have review. My colleague's approach is just as appropriate and comes from a number of testimonies. She mentioned Mr. Plouffe. We also had Professor Wark and the Citizen Lab share the same concerns. I think that an emergency authorization without review is a pretty big loophole. When does that end? How many activities can be undertaken without review under this, on top of having extensions, as we were discussing in the previous debate, not being subject to review? There are quite a few loopholes suddenly that exist here with what the intelligence commissioner can approve and review, which is quite problematic.
