Evidence of meeting #31 for Health in the 40th Parliament, 3rd Session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was privacy.
A recording is available from Parliament.

Thank you.
Again, I can't emphasize more that there are protections afforded in the Privacy Act to individuals. This proposed piece of legislation does not override those. When you're looking at the confidential business information—you're talking about the differences in clause 17—you're looking at common law issues. But in the Privacy Act, the other protections still are afforded to the individuals. They're still there.

Thank you so much, Mr. Dosanjh.
We have completed the third round. We don't have time to complete another one. We even added an extra person in there.
I thank the witnesses very much for coming today and for all your insightful information.
Ladies and gentlemen, the meeting is adjourned until next day. The minister will be here next day.
