Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It's really a point of clarification, and I'll use this time if I can.
Going back to Mr. Martin's points that were being made, the reason I couldn't find the section was that I had the understanding that Mr. Martin was talking in terms of the availability of collecting this information under paragraph 7(3)(d), vis-à-vis foreign jurisdictions, national security, and international affairs. To be clear, that was all in the context of disclosure, not collecting.
In terms of collecting information, Mr. Martin talked in terms of how an organization can collect information, but paragraph 7(3)(d) doesn't pertain to collection. It pertains to disclosure only, so the information would have to be existing.
When we go to collection without consent, it's subsection 7(1) that applies. There's nothing in subsection 7(1) that suggests that the only reason you can collect it under subsection 7(1) is that it “is reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws”. So there are limits, and under the collection of personal information, there's a test that is contained in subsection 7(1) that would apply in those cases.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
