Absolutely.
Much of what you've spoken about and what the director just spoke about is our reality every day. We work very closely and collaboratively with CSIS. Frequently we are exposed to intelligence information that we cannot use in judicial processes, in charges or even in our investigations because of caveats and restrictions on its use. What that does for us is make sure that we are aware of the environment we're operating in. It allows us to look for opportunities that we can exploit to gather information in a manner that can be used in our judicial processes. Even more importantly, it informs us about the situation and allows us to take steps that are not just focused on prosecution. I think sometimes we get caught in a prosecutorial route or process and we have to look at what our mandate is. Our mandate is public safety. There are many steps we can take that enable us to do things to ensure public safety but that may not necessarily lead to a prosecution.
Many of the amendments you are studying and proposing in this legislation give us additional powers. They eliminate some of the challenges we've had in the past with the ability to prosecute individuals for some behaviours. What I would categorize as the outcome of some of the work you're doing is that you are defining what is acceptable and what is illegal in a way that is different from what has been done in the past. That will be very beneficial for us.
