Thank you very much.
This amendment goes to the logic of an emergency authorization. In fact, these authorizations are typically only issued when the minister has reasonable grounds to believe that the time required to obtain the commissioner's approval would defeat the purpose of issuing the authorization. So this is a very quick process by which the minister says that, in the absence of the intelligence commissioner, emergency authorization should be granted. It's limited to only up to five days, and after that period has expired CSE would then require a standard commissioner-approved ministerial authorization.
Again, to subject this to review would more or less defeat the purpose of having the separate category of emergency authorizations.
