However, the courts have determined that in principle Parliament may\u2014and that is a key word\u2014craft a narrow\u2014another key word\u2014emergency wiretap authority for these kinds of circumstances. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3205438\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the report be the balance we need for that extreme violation of our charter rights? I cannot answer that question. This is yet another reason we have to get this bill to committee. We have to have the proper legal analysis. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3205439\" data-originallang=\"en\">We also have to have more than 19 days to get this done. The government has not allowed us to do our duty as legislators and properly review this legislation, given the time constraints that the Supreme Court of Canada has given to us. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3205440\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is worrying. I absolutely agree with her on that point. </p>",

Cependant, les tribunaux ont d\u00e9termin\u00e9 qu'en principe, le Parlement peut \u2014 et c'est l\u00e0 un mot-cl\u00e9 \u2014 accorder un pouvoir restreint \u2014 voil\u00e0 encore un autre mot-cl\u00e9 \u2014 d'\u00e9coute \u00e9lectronique en cas d'urgence.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3205438\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le rapport nous permettra-t-il d'\u00e9tablir l'\u00e9quilibre requis en ce qui concerne cette violation flagrante des droits garantis par la Charte? Je ne peux pas r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 cette question. Voil\u00e0 une autre raison pour laquelle nous devons renvoyer ce projet de loi au comit\u00e9. Il doit faire l'objet d'une analyse juridique ad\u00e9quate.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3205439\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous devons \u00e9galement disposer de plus de 19 jours pour mener cette t\u00e2che \u00e0 bien. Le gouvernement ne nous a pas permis de nous acquitter de notre responsabilit\u00e9 en tant que l\u00e9gislateurs et d'examiner cette mesure l\u00e9gislative comme il se doit, compte tenu des contraintes de temps qui nous ont \u00e9t\u00e9 impos\u00e9es par la Cour supr\u00eame du Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3205440\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est inqui\u00e9tant.
