Mr. Speaker, it is no wonder they want to avoid any serious study of this bill.
Ramming Bill C-51 through without improved oversight is reckless. Despite the Prime Minister's insistence, the Security Intelligence Review Committee is not an oversight body; it is a review body that looks at what CSIS does after the fact. SIRC's spokesperson is clear: “...we are not involved in the operational decision-making”.
Does the Prime Minister still maintain that SIRC is adequate oversight of CSIS when even the committee itself says it is not?
