I do not have a lot of time to respond to such insightful comments.

We do need better oversight mechanisms. A special committee of parliamentarians could study how to increase CSEC's transparency and accountability.

I wonder why the Liberals did not set up such a committee when they were in power. That would have solved the problems we are faced with today. In 2015, the NDP will have the opportunity to do what the Liberals failed to do.
