Thanks very much. I appreciate the opportunity to engage on this important subject matter.
Professor Clement, I believe the term you used was “awesome powers”, if I'm recalling correctly. Certainly, the surveillance capacity potential, if there are no appropriate safeguards in place, is awesome—or I would maybe suggest another word to use would be “terrifying”.
Are you confident that, as the bill stands right now, there are safeguards in place that would protect Canadians' privacy, their data and their rights?
