Mr. Speaker, I question how Conservative members can say that our private information is protected, because they do not know either. I asked the minister at committee the other day whether CSIS, the RCMP and Canada Border Services Agency were involved in the 1.9 million requests for information. He said yes. We do not know if they all had warrants. We are the only country in the Five Eyes, so-called, that does not have parliamentary oversight.
The Communications Security Establishment Commissioner, in his findings and recommendations, stated:
However, a small number of records suggested the possibility that some activities may have been directed at Canadians, contrary to law....
After in-depth and lengthy review, I was unable to reach a definitive conclusion about compliance or non-compliance with the law.
It is this simple. I do not know why members on the government side are accepting the word of the bureaucracy. It does not know either. Why not have the review for which this motion asks? That just makes sense in the interests of Canadians.
