Public Safety committee  Exactly.

Public Safety committee  We'd have to get back to you on that, but the assumption is to meet as soon as possible after the Governor in Council decision and that decision would be made public. I would have to confirm that. Sorry.

Public Safety committee  I'm not an expert on the Canada Gazette, but normally it's used for engagement purposes, so policies going forward to consult on, looking for advice from the public, stakeholders, and so on, on the government's decision.

Public Safety committee  It is for information on the intention of the government, yes.

Public Safety committee  My colleague from the Department of Justice talked about special advocates in the context of the Canada Evidence Act. I think the other day we talked about special advocates in the context of CSIS and warrants, and here in this context. The answers are all pretty much the same. T

Public Safety committee  That's right: amicus curiae.

Public Safety committee  The cost is covered. The Department of Justice has a special fund and a roster that names people as special advocates.

Public Safety committee  Certainly, in regard to revealing the number of people on the list, the Federal Court already agreed with the government that it would be injurious to national security. That was in a ruling in 2016. So it's a yes.

Public Safety committee  Just to be sure we have understood, in fixing the front part, I think you need to fix the back part of the phrase too, because it also says “preceding fiscal year”.

Public Safety committee  I may not directly be answering your question, but international human rights law is already ported into domestic law. It's already part of Canadian law.

Public Safety committee  Just talking about NDP-47, which is just one component in the broader threat reduction and elimination in the mandate, at least the warranted reduction, what NDP-47 does is take out the reporting that was already in Bill C-51. In subsection 6(5) of the CSIS Act, there already is

Public Safety committee  It's in the sense that the numbers of warrants on the collection side are already public, for example. They're already issued in SIRC's annual report. For the provisions to ensure the committee of parliamentarians and the NSIRA are also alerted to how CSIS goes about implementing
