I'm looking for just a little more education, maybe.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4585945\" data-originallang=\"en\"> It seems to me that tying into the charter would be less restrictive than tying into the program, because federal programs and collection of information would be.... You could make a charter challenge if you felt for some reason that the government was, for the purposes of a program, collecting information that violated your charter rights, information that they didn't have a right to have or a right to collect. That would be something for the courts to determine. Having a further necessity test that's tied to the purposes of the program is actually a restriction within that larger restriction.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4585946\" data-originallang=\"en\">Isn't that how it works? If someone felt that the government was violating their charter rights by collecting information in a certain way, they could take that to court, and having the necessity test tied to the federal program would be a restriction within that\u2014or do I just not understand how those two things interact?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4585944\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je voudrais revenir \u00e0 la question qu'a pos\u00e9e M. Lightbound au sujet du crit\u00e8re de n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 fond\u00e9 sur la Charte plut\u00f4t que sur les programmes f\u00e9d\u00e9raux. J'aimerais qu'on m'\u00e9claire un peu.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4585945\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il me semble que de fonder ce crit\u00e8re sur la Charte est moins restrictif que de le fonder sur les programmes, car les programmes f\u00e9d\u00e9raux et la collecte de renseignements seraient... Il pourrait y avoir une contestation en vertu de la Charte si on estime pour une raison quelconque que le gouvernement recueille aux fins d'un programme des renseignements en contravention de la Charte, des renseignements qu'il n'a pas le droit de d\u00e9tenir ou de recueillir. Il appartiendrait aux tribunaux de le d\u00e9terminer. Si on appliquait un crit\u00e8re de n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 qui serait li\u00e9 aux programmes, cela constituerait une restriction dans le cadre de cette restriction plus large.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4585946\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est ainsi que cela fonctionne, n'est-ce pas? Si une personne estime que le gouvernement ne respecte pas la Charte en recueillant des renseignements d'une certaine fa\u00e7on, elle pourrait s'adresser aux tribunaux, et si le crit\u00e8re de n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 est fond\u00e9 sur un programme f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, il s'agirait d'une plus grande restriction, ou est-ce que je comprends mal?</p>"
