Yes. I don't disagree with that.
I can't prejudge what Mr. Justice Major may be saying in his report; however, I did find very instructive the recent report of the Auditor General, which I think is very illuminating on this question and which highlighted the need for intelligence sharing. Highlighted also was the fact that some recommendations she made in an audit in 2003, I believe, had not been followed up on.
Highlighted also was the misuse of the Privacy Act, which is a great concern of mine, in that the Privacy Act is quoted as a reason for not sharing intelligence among national security agencies. When the Auditor General asked where the legal opinion was or where the memorandum was and how they analyzed the Privacy Act such that they thought it prevented them from sharing information, there were none of these documents.
I think that's an important part of the puzzle that we have to look at. It's not only that the Privacy Act be respected, but possibly that the Privacy Act be refocused to be more contemporary, and also that it not be used wrongly as a shield against necessary information sharing.
