Sure. It's categorically false, and that's why I think discussion on Bill C-22, especially amongst all of us as parliamentarians, needs to be done in a responsible manner, in a way that doesn't propagate misinformation.
As the senior deputy commissioner said, it's about supporting victims.
Peel Regional Police, in their press conference—and kudos to Chief Nishan Duraiappah, the deputy chief and the whole team—indicated that the arrest could have been made much sooner had a lawful access framework been available. It took a lot of time, especially in cross-border investigation, and involved a number of police jurisdictions. It took a long time for them to get the warrants and the production orders in order to fully investigate before the charges were made. In the meantime, the poor victims in Peel have been struggling with issues of extortion, which is something that I know you're very familiar with and that you've done great work on.
