Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I was in Parliament the day Francis Scarpaleggia went after Vic Toews with respect to the lawful access legislation at the time, and I distinctly remember Minister Toews saying that either you're with the government or you're with the child pornographers. I remember the proliferation of the hashtag “TellVicEverything”, because there was a widespread perception at the time that the legislation was an overreach. Right across the country, there were people who were providing Minister Toews with information about spilling soup on their tie, because they felt that perhaps Vic was interested in everything, with the measures he was taking to trample privacy and the over-the-top rhetoric that was being used at the time to support it.
I'd like to bring Minister Fraser into the conversation.
Minister, in your opening remarks, you talked about the protection of privacy and compliance with the charter in that regard. Can you talk a bit more about the protection of privacy and the compliance with the charter and the efforts that have been made in this legislation on the two?
