Our point is that at this time the Canadian national security statutes mention neither the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms nor the Canadian Human Rights Act. There is no reference to them, and even fewer obligations, with an exception for the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
We are asking that any law on national security, whether it is new or not, include a provision requiring that it be interpreted be in light of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Canadian Human Rights Act, and international law.
