Chair, Broadcasting and Telecommunications Legislative Review Panel

Janet Yale

There were a number of places where our analysis and consultations bumped up against other pieces of legislation, the Privacy Act, the Competition Act and the Copyright Act, as you mentioned, issues of national security where people raise security issues, and we could only touch on them at the very highest level.

We acknowledge where our terms of reference end and where it is incumbent on government given other pieces of legislation that may be relevant for them to act as necessary.

Pardon my expression, but bi-standards would be competition and also privacy through PIPEDA. Correct?

I want to thank you very much.

I'll leave it at that. Who knows? Maybe down the line we'll call you back. I'm just giving you a possible warning; you never know.

The Chair Liberal Scott Simms

Thank you.

Colleagues, I would like to remind you that we're going in camera. The only people allowed in the room at that point will be committee members, one staff member for each committee member, and one staff member for a House officer. I didn't say House leader; I said House officer. That could be the whip, deputy whip, House leader, deputy House leader—one staff from a House officer.

Is everybody okay with that? Okay.

Thank you.
