Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my hon. colleague for her question. I am very concerned about what the privacy commissioner has said about the bill. I take very seriously the concerns he has raised. He has concerns about clauses of the bill allowing the RCMP to obtain airline passenger information when searching for people wanted under warrants.
He said specifically that the precedent set by this provision ultimately could open the door to practices similar to those in societies where police routinely board trains, establish roadblocks, or stop people in the street to check identification papers in search of anyone of interest to the state. It is the kind of very chilling comment from someone in as high and as important an office as the privacy commissioner's that I take very seriously.
