There is one thing we need to understand after the testimony of Ms. Stoddart. I have been sitting on this Committee since 2000 and every time we talked about birth dates or voter numbers, Mr. Kingsley told us that we needed to discuss it with the Privacy Commissioner and get her agreement. But she has been telling us here--maybe Mr. Kingsley will read this--that she has no jurisdiction over the Canada Elections Act. She said that as far as information such as the date of birth or voter number is concerned, it is up to the legislator, i.e. ourselves, and to the minority government to make decisions.
I want one thing to be clear. Usually, when I make comments of that sort, within 10 minutes I get a call from Mr. Kingsley. This is proof that he listens to us. His spirit listens to us. I suppose he is acting in good faith. Maybe he does not know that the Access to Information Act does not apply to the Canada Elections Act. I trust it is a matter of ignorance and not bad faith.
