Mr. Speaker, quite frankly, I am puzzled why the NDP is against safety and security for Canadians.
This is not hard. These measures will make Canada safer. Back in 2001, when we had the first terrorist incident, similar measures to these were passed.
We simply think that third-party, non-independent, expert oversight of our national security agencies is the model. Furthermore, key powers of the new legislation will be subject to judicial review and judicial authorization.
Let us get on with protecting Canadians.
