Madam Speaker, we have seen in previous examples, most notably with northern gateway, that CSIS was complicit in providing information to oil companies about suspected activists and environmental protesters, so there is a very real threat.
The bill could address that particular problem only if the oversight committee is allowed to have real teeth and real investigative powers. That means not allowing a minister to just shut something down because he or she thinks it is “injurious to national security”.
That is such broad-ranging terminology. Could someone on the Liberal side please define that for me?
