Mr. Speaker, the minister is once again confusing the roles of the two oversight entities.
The Inspector General makes sure that CSIS complies with the legislation and with its own policies and regulations, but the parliamentary secretary refers to the Inspector General's role as a simple administrative expense, and the minister is taking the only tool that lets him keep an objective eye on the actions of CSIS and is throwing it out the window.
Is this decision driven by bad faith or by simple ignorance?
