Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Deputy Prime Minister.
I wish to remind the Deputy Prime Minister that the Communications Security Establishment is not accountable to any review agency. The disclosures made by a CSE spy, Mike Frost, raise the whole issue of electronic surveillance of the sovereignist movement by federal services.
Why is it that, unlike CSIS, the Communications Security Establishment, whose budget is estimated at $200 million a year-yes, Mr. Speaker, $200 million a year-is not subject to any external parliamentary control whatsoever? Who monitors the spies in this country?
