Certainly. In fact, it was way before I got into Parliament, but then justice minister Vic Toews introduced lawful access and was roundly mocked by the Liberals. There was a famous quote—I'm not going to repeat it again. This bill goes further, as I understand it, than the bill Vic Toews put forward that was mocked by the Liberals. It is a bit rich to come in here and people try to say we really need lawful access and try to get people to say that.
I want to move on to something else, which is data retention. This is actually a really important point. I know that, in my prosecutorial work, data retention was difficult because you have service providers and their data takes up space. You have to store it somewhere, and that costs a lot of money, of course, so it's in a provider's best interest to get rid of the data as quickly as possible. When you get rid of the data, you extinguish law enforcement's ability to recover or to obtain the data.
Am I being clear here?
