I think the balance can easily be struck—you just had the Privacy Commissioner of Canada here in the previous panel—if we're talking about balancing lawful access for law enforcement to conduct investigations into what are challenging investigations. As I mentioned earlier, cryptocurrency is an evolving trend for money laundering, and there's organized crime and international crime and the evolution of artificial intelligence.
For example, the FBI did a little presentation for law enforcement a while ago about the rise in deepfakes in cyber-technology and the ability to essentially have child porn out there that is fake. The challenge is, how do you know it's fake?
A police service like Red Deer's, for example, could get a report of child pornography. They look at the images, but a regular member of the RCMP or a police service would not be able to tell that they're fake. They would need to use the resources of our integrated child exploitation unit to actually analyze those and determine that they're not fake. That takes resources away from real crimes where there are real victims. The idea of lawful access is to delve deeper into those stories to be able to determine ahead of time the “whether or not” and to expedite the ability to conduct those investigations.
