Ms Isolde Goggin:

Again, I would make the distinction between the mass surveillance of communications and retention of data end of things, and the kind of surveillance that we would be looking at, which is very targeted in terms of particular companies or individuals on particular occasions. We would imagine that any warrant that would be granted would be very narrow in its application. It is an investigative tool. One has to use it before there is any indication of guilt. Does the Senator know what I mean? It comes in at that stage of the process. Again, the safeguards that would be there as regards not keeping any data that one was not warranted to have in the first place, etc., I would imagine that those would be very strictly enforced as well.
