Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question.
I see the connection to what my Liberal colleague said in his remarks. The member makes a very good point.
This kind of highly controversial measure could be subject to a court challenge. Detaining an individual for 12 months even though police have no information in their files, an individual who has no connection to criminal or terrorist organizations, is the hallmark of a police state. I was going to say that this has never been seen before, but we were given an example.
I submit this respectfully.
