What I actually think is you as legislators will find that no matter what piece of legislation you're touching, you're going to tickle a privacy question. It's something that we need to raise in the public consciousness, but we also need to have an ongoing democratic debate between citizens and legislators. So there is a sensitivity to the importance of privacy as a social value, and it's not just through PIPEDA, it's through the Public Safety Act, it's through the Anti-terrorism Act, it's through a number of different pieces of legislation that will flow across your desks and you'll have to make decisions on.
Again, I go back to Madame Lavallée's comment. If we recognize the importance that privacy plays as a democratic value--it's one of the fundamental parts of the rule of law--if we recognize that, chances are that when we're making choices about all those other forms of legislation, we'll get the mix right.
So one of the opportunities that PIPEDA provides us with is the chance to look at the e-commerce environment to come up with rules that respect the fact that people should have some say over the flow of their personal information.
