Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Amendment NDP-29 seeks to remove the words “Despite subsections 23(1) and (2)”. The purpose of this amendment is to maintain the protections of Canadians. Section 23 of the Communications Security Establishment Act, which is enacted in part 3 of the bill, protects Canadians from CSE activities. By removing the words “Despite subsections 23(1) and (2)”, we are making sure that the activities carried out in the context of what is set out in section 24 of the same act will not target Canadians.
The subsequent amendments will round it all out.
