Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague who, I guess one could say, heckled, or asked the following question: “How do you know?”
I think that is the question Canadians are asking and which we want to answer by forming this parliamentary committee.
How do we know? If we do not know, do we want to participate in the digital economy? Do we want to help the government move its services online?
We are putting at risk something that is very important part of our economy, the digital economy. Why do that? Why not just have some oversight by elected representatives from different parties to work together to help reassure the people of Canada that someone who represents them is overseeing what this particular government agency is doing?
I think CSEC would probably welcome that. It does not want to harm Canada; it does not want to harm the digital economy.
