Thank you, Mr. Vincent.
Just before we go to Mr. Wallace, who is next, Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Pecknold, I understand you have a concern with the alleged vagueness of the term “lawful authority” in subsection 7(3). Are you concerned at all about the word “may” in the operative portion of the subsection? The reason I ask is that the way it reads, “an organization may disclose” only if, for example, required to comply with a subpoena. Are you concerned that somebody might say that “may” is permissive and not requiring? I'm just wondering.
Particularly in deference to the judiciary, as I found out in another committee I'm on, “may” is a very common drafting term. I don't know if you've highlighted any concerns. Maybe they're just my concerns. I'm just asking if you have concerns with the word “may”, and let's use it specifically as linked to paragraph 7(3)(c), because it would seem to me that if there's a subpoena or warrant, it should be “shall”. There should be no discretion if it's in accordance with a subpoena or warrant.
So that's just a quick question. Do you have concerns with the use of the word “may” in subsection 7(3)?
