Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Stoddart, my question is two fold. You work for the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and you have access to a wide range of rules to protect privacy. God knows how difficult that is today!
However, there one thing that I wonder about. The Information Commissioner of Canada has a job completely the opposite of yours, meaning he requires a great deal of information. You you are some kind of a watchdog.
Do you believe that Bill C-2 will enable the information you obtain during an investigation, for example with regard to protecting individuals, to be transferred to the Information Commissioner? If I want to obtain information, I must go through the Information Commissioner. If you block my request, rightly or not, I do not have to provide an explanation. Would you be prepared to transfer information to the Information Commissioner, or would you systematically block the transfer of information? Does Bill C-2 resolve this problem?
