That's another good question.
There were some questions earlier today around the risks of the bill. Something that has not necessarily been discussed today is the risk of not having a lawful access regime in this country. It's been a 30-year journey to get to the point of maturity of the current bill in front of you, and that has been with significant ups and downs.
The cost is increasing, to be frank with you. You can hear it from me, from CSIS and from counterparts on this panel. Don't necessarily take our word. There are other significant cross-partisan analyses, including the NSICOP report on going dark, that really get to the heart of the costs.
I would say that the slippage we are seeing, even when we have a federal court warrant for the information we are authorized to get but still cannot get, is increasing. That gap, for us, is an immediate and tangible one in terms of the safety of Canada and Canadians from what, for CSIS, for example, are the highest harm threats. We're talking about espionage, foreign interference and terrorism, primarily. That cost is here, and it's increasing. This bill is a significant proposal that would really modernize that set of tools for us.
