Yes. To the last part, you said insofar as oversight and review are there. Well, in the case of national security, oversight and review are absent. We have no parliamentary committee to date and we have no mechanisms to review the work of the agencies. The majority of the agencies don't have any review mechanisms of any sort.
In terms of the power of the police—maybe Mr. Barrette could expand on this—criminality didn't begin with terrorism. We have a history of developing a Criminal Code and the procedures under which people can be prosecuted and condemned for crimes. The procedures respect the rights of individuals, with a presumption of innocence and so on. These are the kinds of things that are put aside with regard to terrorism.
I mean, there are procedures where people can be put on a no-fly list on the basis of suspicion. They don't know why they're there. They don't have a fair court procedure to challenge that. This is the sort of thing that is not acceptable. These procedures don't lead to more security. If you look at recent history in Canada, terrorist attempts have been foiled, and they've been foiled by regular police work. We have no objection to that.
