Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good day and welcome everyone.
I am very pleased to meet you, as I have many questions and I am hoping that you can clarify some things for me. I am new to the committee and I also know very little about the Privacy Act.
First of all, one of my concerns is about workers. You spoke a lot about the surveillance of employees while on the job, under the pretext of security. I would like you to tell me if the law prohibits an employer who has installed video cameras to ensure workplace security - I'm thinking of a port, an airport or a convenience store - from using these devices to monitor the work of employees, and then subsequently admonishing them if ever they slack off, for example.
I have a few questions to ask, but I will start with that one.
