Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of National Defence.
On May 25, the Privacy Commissioner confirmed to the Standing Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs that an examination of the operations of the Communications Security Establishment was being carried out. That exercise was to be completed in August. Yesterday, the defence minister alluded to that examination by the Privacy Commissioner.
Considering the recent disclosure of surveillance activities targeting members of the Quebec government, will the minister confirm that he asked the Commissioner to expand the scope of the examination conducted?
