Thank you to all three of you for that response.
We've heard repeatedly the terms “overly broad”, “proportionate” and “reasonableness”.
Ms. Robertson from the Citizen Lab, in the previous panel, said that we need to make the right decision now, and that's critical. I agree with her recommendation to have appropriate judicial oversight.
That being said, how would each of you, from the three groups, suggest that we achieve the appropriate balance between judicial oversight and the protection of privacy rights? How do we strike the right balance between protecting critical infrastructure and acting expeditiously, in some circumstances, on what the banking industry would call a priority one critical infrastructure breach? How would we go about protecting that infrastructure as well as the public and their information in those situations, when doing so is warranted?
I'll start off with Mr. Smith and then go to Mr. Clement and Ms. Mason.
