Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague is correct, and that is precisely why we need to bring in experts, study this legislation and listen to those who are impacted by the legislation.
Of course, legislation like this involves privacy concerns, and why would we, on this side of the House, want to deeply study these things? It is because at every opportunity this government has had to trample on the rights of law-abiding citizens, it has done so. The original version of the bill included many outrageous items, including banning cash transactions, which is something that would have impacted the right of individuals in my riding of Fundy Royal to use Canadian currency to buy something. Absolutely, it illustrates why we will do our job, we will study this legislation, we will listen to experts and we will continue to stand up for the privacy rights of all Canadians.
