Transport committee  The International Civil Aviation Organization is the UN agency that deals with civil aviation. The International Civil Aviation Organization is the organization that deals with civil aviation for the United Nations and would be an appropriate forum for the discussion.

Transport committee  I had no choice.

Transport committee  That doesn't mean I agree.

Transport committee  Yes, because these lists are not set up on the basis of factual evidence proved before a court of law against certain individuals, but on the basis of data mining and profiling. When you engage in this sort of process, obviously the profiling will be detrimental to certain groups

Transport committee  It shows that the information required goes beyond the need for security. When people want to go to the United States, it's quite normal that the United States have proof of their identity. But why do you need all this information on people who over-fly the United States? The r

Transport committee  No, it doesn't. One of the issues that has to be considered is that the United States is setting a precedent with this system. If they can invoke their sovereign rights to set up a system like this, what prevents China, North Korea, or Iran from invoking the same rights? You ca

Transport committee  I think that's a very good description. I don't think there is any proof, as has been mentioned, that these measures are necessary for air travel security. By accepting this legislation, Canada is saying we can't guarantee as a state that we can ensure the safety of our aircraft.

In reading Ms. Des Rosiers' presentation, I see that she says in her final remarks that her first choice is withdrawal of

Transport committee  Could I add a comment? It's very hard to know what we're giving consent to when you don't have any control over what the United States will do with that information. From the previous testimony, including that of Commissioner Stoddart, and from my description of how the intellig

Transport committee  First I would like to thank committee members for this invitation to testify on Bill C-42. The Ligue des droits et libertés was founded in 1963 and is a member of the International Federation for Human Rights. I would like to begin this presentation with two examples that clear

Public Safety committee  As I said—

Public Safety committee  As I stated in my previous remark, Parliament has an important role to play in making sure that Canadians' rights are respected. However, to inform Canadians, there must be an oversight mechanism that can gather and analyze the required information.

Public Safety committee  Right now, we believe that this man has nowhere to turn to. It's exactly one of the things that has to be resolved. In our opinion, the oversight mechanism must be empowered to receive this type of complaint and take corrective action. Indeed, for us to head in this direction, t

Public Safety committee  Yes, the arrests—
