Mr. Speaker, I believe the hon. member is referring to preventive detention. The bill contains provisions that allow our authorities to undertake investigations, including detention, to provide them with the opportunity to intervene and question people who may have knowledge about terrorist acts that may be committed.
I was very disappointed to hear that this member's colleague earlier today referred to this legislation, which is intended to protect Canadians, as being useless. That generally reflects the attitude the Bloc has to safety in Canada and the safety of our citizens. They will not stand up for victims of crime, and they will not stand up for those who may in the future become the victims of terrorist acts. I find that very disappointing. I believe that this member is better than that. What he should be doing, and what his party should be doing, is joining us in our sincere efforts to renew legislation that actually protects Canadians against terrorism.
