Information & Ethics committee  What I described to you is a combination of both. So the answer is, we have always had privacy considerations be an important component of product design, and our products reflect them. This incident is an anomaly, but that's not to excuse it. I don't excuse it, and that's why we are building additional safeguards to try to make sure that something like this doesn't happen again.

Information & Ethics committee  Sorry if I misspoke.

Information & Ethics committee  She advised us at that time to preserve the data, and we preserved it.

Information & Ethics committee  I understood the “immediately” in that report to mean at the issuance of her final report.

Information & Ethics committee  The way Google operates, because we don't operate on a traditional subsidiary model in which there is a president of Google Canada and a chief of finance at Google Canada, and all that, the answer to your question is that there are and there will be even more people who are responsible and accountable for privacy within Google, starting with Dr.

Information & Ethics committee  My understanding of the commissioner's report is that she was asking us to delete the payload data after the resolution of the complaint. The finding that she issued was a preliminary letter of finding. In the way the administrative process works within her office, ultimately there is a final finding that comes out.

Information & Ethics committee  The answer is, we haven't undertaken that analysis, but we will. If we're permitted to delete it, we'll delete it.

Information & Ethics committee  I promise, the moment I leave this committee, to make a phone call and ask that that analysis begin.

Information & Ethics committee  I should add that in other countries around the world we have deleted the data at the request of the privacy commissioner in that jurisdiction where we've been permitted to by law, and in this case, when I called the Privacy Commissioner about this issue in May, I asked her specifically what she wanted done with the Canadian data, whether we ought to preserve it or delete it then.

Information & Ethics committee  No.

Information & Ethics committee  There are a number of people who are doing that analysis, and I'm certainly going to be involved in providing that analysis.

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just to be clear on the member's question, as I said in my opening statement, we don't want to have this data. If I have misunderstood the commissioner, then I apologize, and we're going to get on that. That's the answer.

Information & Ethics committee  It would be the U.S., the U.K., Canada, Ireland, Australia....

Information & Ethics committee  We reported to the privacy commissioners in countries affected by this mistaken collection of data.

Information & Ethics committee  It would be the countries in which Street View is available. I don't know all of them off the top of my head.
