"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6808874\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, that committee has a particular role. The concern at the time was that we had these secret investigative bodies, like CSIS, the CSE and the RCMP security division, conducting secret operations on behalf of the government. They were reporting directly to the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a>, and there was no oversight.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6808875\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We had obviously gotten into trouble in the past with some of the behaviours of our security services that were inappropriate, doing things they should not have done, such as breaking the law, breaking various conventions and acting in a manner that was supportive of torture in certain cases, and the Canadian government was sued.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6808876\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Therefore, the purpose of that was to review what went on in these agencies and make reports to provide that oversight, not to do the kind of job we are talking about here.</p>",

Ce qui nous inqui\u00e9tait \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9poque, c'est que ces organismes d\u2019enqu\u00eate secrets, comme le Service canadien du renseignement de s\u00e9curit\u00e9, le Centre de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des t\u00e9l\u00e9communications et la Division de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 de la GRC menaient des op\u00e9rations secr\u00e8tes pour le compte du gouvernement. Ils relevaient directement du <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a>, sans aucune surveillance.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6808875\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons \u00e9videmment eu des probl\u00e8mes \u00e0 cause de certains comportements inappropri\u00e9s de nos services de s\u00e9curit\u00e9, qui ont fait des choses qu\u2019ils n\u2019auraient pas d\u00fb faire, comme enfreindre la loi, violer diff\u00e9rentes conventions et agir de mani\u00e8re \u00e0 favoriser la torture dans certains cas, et le gouvernement canadien a \u00e9t\u00e9 poursuivi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6808876\" data-originallang=\"en\">Par cons\u00e9quent, l\u2019objectif de ce comit\u00e9 \u00e9tait d\u2019examiner ce qui se passait dans ces organismes et de produire des rapports pour exercer cette surveillance, et non de faire le genre de travail dont nous parlons.</p>"
