Mr. Liam Herrick:

As well as a broad review of different legislative schemes for different forms of intelligence gathering, surveillance and retention, the sharing of intelligence data by this jurisdiction and other jurisdictions, where there appears to be no oversight and there are no safety checks and balances, is also an issue. As we have seen from our international co-operation with peer organisations in other jurisdictions, this is an international phenomenon as there are poor systems of surveillance in other jurisdictions too. However, we are particularly notable in having no parliamentary system of oversight and an under-resoured and weak form of oversight, even in the limited area in which it operates.
