Mr. Speaker, it seems that the opposition is finally moving in the right direction. I know that yesterday, the Liberals said it was millions and millions of Canadians who were being spied on. Then it was 1.2 million to two million from the NDP. Now it is thousands. I am sure by next week, the truth will actually be talked about by the opposition. What we are doing here is that the telecoms are being asked, in instances of national security, in instances when violent crime is taking place, to assist our authorities. There is, of course, civilian oversight to make sure that this is all done properly.
Moreover, any personal information protected by the Charter requires a warrant. There is Bill S-4 in front of the Senate, which will help improve this even further.
