Mr. Speaker, the appointment of two new people to the Security Intelligence Review Committee—no matter how competent they may be—does not fix anything. One of the many problems with Bill C-51 is that there is no proper, independent oversight mechanism for the additional powers granted to CSIS.
Currently, the committee simply reviews activities after the fact, and there is no ongoing oversight to ensure that our rights are protected.
Does the minister understand the difference between review and oversight?
