Thank you. I do appreciate that.
I'm what you would call a typical law-and-order Conservative, so I am completely with you in terms of how we can make it so that you can catch the bad guys, but we still have to balance the privacy of Canadians. We would be doing ourselves a disservice if we didn't do that.
I guess what I was hoping I would hear from the witnesses here in terms of why you thought Mr. Dufresne would recommend these amendments was that his motivations are to defend the privacy rights of Canadians, because that is the answer. That's why he made the recommendations. It's to defend the privacy rights of Canadians.
With the permission of the committee, I really believe we need the Privacy Commissioner in our future meetings. I don't see any reason the committee would have anything against this. I don't know how to present it. Perhaps it's a unanimous consent motion to ask that the Privacy Commissioner be invited to appear for the remainder of our clause-by-clause meetings.
