Mr. Speaker, we have to wonder at times whether the members of the Conservative Party have hearing blockages or whether there is something fundamental causing them to just not get it. I thought I started off my speech by recognizing the good work that CSIS and CSEC do. I repeated over and over again that the core responsibility of government is to protect its citizens. I do not argue that point. I am arguing the point that there is nobody looking after the shop. I do not know why the hon. member does not get it.
He asks if all I have got is Judge Mosley. You and I have been reading judgments for a long time, Mr. Speaker, and we know judges are generally more circumspect in how they put their ratio decidendi and their judgments. This is one very upset judge, and these are the only ones to which we actually get access.
I want to point out that, yes, he is right. We did start CSEC when we were in government. That was the idea. I understand that. That is why we put it in place. However, if he was listening, and I do not think he was, the time at which that agency was created was in the last millennium, and technology has moved way beyond our legislative capacity to supervise.
