Mr. Speaker, the police may have grounds to make an urgent request to an Internet service provider in order to save a life or an abused child.
However, it is legitimate to ask who made 1.2 million requests for information and processed the 800,000 transfers in 2011 and how much taxpayers paid for this information.
Does the government realize that its lack of transparency undermines the public's confidence in our institutions and jeopardizes public safety?
