Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To the witnesses, in the last Parliament, there was a previous version of this bill that did not recognize privacy as a fundamental right, and I think there was a lot of push-back then. I was not in the last Parliament. The bill was introduced in June 2022, again, as we know, without much consultation beforehand.
Is there a reason the department has chosen not to put a fundamental right in the preamble of this legislation? There have been two attempts at it and it still hasn't done that.
