Thank you, Chair.
I want to thank Mr. Poilievre for tabling this motion, because it is something we should be taking a look at. I have a particular interest since Canpages is based in my constituency, in Burnaby, and they are a step ahead of Google on this motion. Their street scene service went up on March 16. It is more limited than what Google is proposing, in my understanding. It is focusing on commercial districts in Vancouver, Whistler, and Squamish in British Columbia at this time, but they hope to expand it. If folks want to see a Canadian expression of this kind of service, they could visit canpages.ca and take a look at it.
I've spoken with Olivier Vincent, who is the president and CEO, not chairman and CEO, so maybe we could correct that in the motion on Canpages. He is very interested in appearing before the committee to talk about issues of privacy, the way Canpages has decided to deal with those issues, to deal with the question of what's happening to the original images, the non-blurred images they use, how people can report concerns about images that appear. In talking with him, he has made efforts to put in place a regime that addresses privacy concerns, and it would be of interest to committee members to hear him speak on those matters.
I would like to encourage committee members to support it. I think it is something that is very timely and merits our consideration.
