Early on, I asked questions about the estimate of the number of times you will use this new measure if it's adopted. I also asked about the impact of not having this measure or tool in your hands in the past. I was told that there's no concrete information.
However, I want to draw your attention to a piece of information, a report completed by the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians in 2025. The name of the report is “Special Report on the Lawful Access to Communications by Security and Intelligence Organizations”.
As I mentioned, this report is as recent as 2025. On page 54 of the report, there is some very interesting information. I would say it's relevant to what we are talking about. I will read it out for you. Note that by “committee” I mean the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians:
The Committee did not see any clear, empirical data to substantiate claims by Canada's security and intelligence organizations that they face serious lawful access challenges because of rapidly evolving technology. CSIS and the RCMP do not systematically track how often they encounter various technological challenges in their national security investigations....
Further on, it reads:
As a result, they do not know in quantifiable terms the degree of impact and overall significance of these challenges.
Further down, it has:
This is an important omission because as these organizations advise the government and attempt to convince Canadians—particularly those concerned about the potential erosion of their privacy—that new legislation and resources are required to keep pace with evolving technology....
I would ask for comments and feedback on that. Is there any response to that piece of information?
