Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Thunder Bay—Rainy River, who very clearly stated the NDP's position on this issue, and explained why we were going to support this much more balanced and much fairer bill.
According to my colleague, how does Bill C-55 offer better oversight and accountability than what was proposed in Bill C-30?
Our strong opposition to Bill C-30 was due in part to the lack of fine detail in comments by the Minister of Public Safety. We had some concerns about the bill, yet all those who opposed it were regarded as people who almost condoned pedophilia, whereas we were requesting greater respect for the right to privacy.
In Bill C-55, we now find mechanisms for oversight and accountability to ensure respect for the privacy of Canadians.
