Mr. Speaker, I have a quick question with regard to what the hon. member said about police powers.
There seems to be quite a voice going throughout the country from people at the grassroots level saying that giving up privacy rights if it will achieve catching terrorists, et cetera, that a large percentage of the people are behind that kind of movement.
I gather from what the member said that he would not agree with the results of the polls that are being taken in that regard. I know privacy is a big issue with many people but apparently as high as 75% of Canadians have expressed the view that they are prepared to give up some of their privacy rights to fight terrorism. How does the hon. member respond to these people?
