Mr. Speaker, true to form, the Minister of Public Safety flatly dismissed any notion of civilian oversight for CSIS activities while getting ready to give CSIS considerably more power. He seems to think all that stuff is just useless red tape.
Now we have a better understanding of why the Conservatives eliminated one of the two CSIS oversight mechanisms.
Why did the minister reject the idea of making sure that CSIS protects Canadians' security and freedom?
