Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning to the three of you. Thank you for answering our questions.
I'd like you to explain to me something I had trouble understanding. On page 1 of your statement, you say that the introduction of PIPEDA has created some confusion, some uncertainty among the general public and that, as a result of that confusion, organizations are refusing to cooperate. Now I'm reading what appears near the bottom of page 3 of the English version:
Section 7 was always meant to allow law enforcement to obtain personal, but not sensitive, information on a voluntary basis from companies on request. This is what we're seeking to restore.
When you say you're seeking to restore something that existed, that means there was good cooperation. So it's not necessarily just as a result of section 7 or the introduction of the act that there's now a problem. You say it worked well at first. You refer to section 7, among other things. Further on, you say that section 7 poses a problem, but you also consider it as the section that was used to enable law enforcement organizations to obtain information.
I find that somewhat contradictory.
