Absolutely. In the time I've been Privacy Commissioner I have repeatedly inquired about the possibility of amending the Criminal Code. I gather there's some work being done by the Department of Justice, but we have not yet seen it finalized. I hope that Justice will move on this.
Your colleague the honourable Mr. Rajotte of Edmonton Southwest introduced a private member's bill to amend the Criminal Code to cover identity theft. This has now passed second reading and has been sent back to the House. I have supported it, and people from my office have tried to give Mr. Rajotte any advice he has needed.
This is an urgent problem and we see a lamentable slowness in responding to it.
