  • Re: Bill C-26 
Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her excellent question in regard to trying to move the bill forward. I have indicated that I do want to see the bill go to committee, and I will support it to go to committee. I did refer to a couple of remarks that Christopher Parsons, from the University of Toronto, had made, in a very critical analysis of the bill when it was brought forward. His report states, “No recognition of privacy or other Charter-protected rights exists as a counterbalance to proposed security requirements”. He was very clear on the improvements that could be made to the bill. That is why we want to see it go to the committee, so that we can actually put some of those amendments forward, unless the government brings them forward.
