Selon le premier principe, le terrorisme transnational constitue une atteinte à la sécurité d'une démocratie comme le Canada, aux droits collectifs et individuels de ses habitants, aux droits à la vie, à la liberté et à la sécurité.
The same goes for our privacy rights, which are concretized in two federal statutes, primarily the Privacy Act and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act. Constitutional democracies such as Canada can and should address the dilemma of how to respond to terrorism in an informed and principled way rather than in any political or politicized fashion.
