Mr. Speaker, I could not agree more with the member in regard to why we have Bill S-7 before us today, and I hope to address that in my own comments.
My question is along the same lines as the questions I have asked of her colleagues, and that is in regard to the need to have an investigation.
Could the member expand on the point that with terrorism today law enforcement officers are saying they need this additional tool to help them combat terrorism? Does the member not realize that if it did not pass we would have law enforcement agencies, and other experts, saying we have a gap that needs to be filled?
The power to hold individuals for investigation seems to be most important tool. Would she provide further comment on that aspect?
