Mr. Speaker, as I pointed out, when I asked the Minister of Justice earlier today about the Winnipeg police, the chief of police and a particular group of individuals I met with, his response was that it is not only in Winnipeg. There are community-interest stakeholders throughout the country who are genuinely interested. They are following this issue and want to see lawful access become a part of our Canadian law to join the other Five Eyes countries, and in fact the G7 countries, in having lawful access. It is a very important, critical tool to be able to deal with anything from child exploitation to extortion and terrorism. It is something that Canada needs for public safety reasons.
