Absolutely. I think judicial authorization will be a critical addition here. Having more direct oversight from bodies like NSIRA and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner would also be helpful. This is a very powerful set of tools that are being brought into place.
Also, as a civil liberties organization, we don't appear at many legislative committees to encourage an expansion of police powers. However, I do want to say that we are very selective in when we show up and how aggressively we object. This regime really is on the broader end, which is why we are here and expressing our concerns.
