I humbly ask all colleagues on this. It's important that when we're bringing forward legislation such as this, it should not be a politicized piece of legislation. This is meant for the safety and security of all Canadians. Canadians need to have confidence in our security apparatus. They need to have confidence that all of us are working together in the best interest of Canadians.
In that vein, I would say a simplistic assertion such as that is inaccurate.
What is accurate is that, in very limited circumstances, when an individual who may have access to the Internet through a service provider has posed a risk to the safety and security of our critical infrastructure and demonstrated the type of continued behaviour that could harm our critical infrastructure and thereby many other systems, there is, in very limited scope, the ability to terminate their Internet services. It is in exceptional circumstances; it's not on a routine basis.
