I haven't been called to appear on that particular bill, but I can say that if and when it is passed into law, I would certainly want to cooperate with the director general of elections in order to try to see how we could make sure that the 450 people who work for you, as for other honourable members, are very clear with the message that this is a sacred trust. Other people's personal information, in the context of elections in a democracy, is very important, and you have to treat this information seriously.
