Yes. It sounds like, if we look back, it happens because the Privacy Act has not been reviewed since 1983; the act reflects the state of our knowledge about personal information protection in the early eighties. PIPEDA was drafted in 1999-2000 and reflects a more modern understanding of what it takes to protect personal information.
One example, honourable member, is the fact that the Privacy Act only allows Canadians to look at or have access to the personal information holdings the government or a government agency has on them. It doesn't give them a right of correction or even a right of redress. Consumers have both of these under PIPEDA.
