I'm going to take my four minutes. At the end, I think we should be singing to Madame Michaud. I'll hold that until four minutes from now.
Mr. Chair, I think we all had questions for Mr. Neiman and Mr. Holland, so I'm hoping we can have them back at committee. I know that's an additional expense because of the Conservative filibuster, but it's critical to get this legislation right. I appreciate the witnesses who've been able to answer our brief questions. We have many more questions to ask.
I want to come to Ms. Polsky and Ms. Baron.
You're part of the coalition that provided an excellent joint submission that talks about recommended remedies. There are 16 recommendations on how this committee can improve the legislation. They touch on a number of areas: “restraining ministerial powers”; “protecting confidential personal and business information”; “maximizing transparency”; “allowing special advocates to protect the public interest”; and “enhancing accountability for the [Communications Security Establishment]”.
Of the 16 recommendations, which are the most critical ones that we need to consider, or are they all part of a package—something vital to make sure this legislation does what it's intended to do but does it in a transparent way?
I'll start with Ms. Polsky.
