This is not a practice we are in any way familiar with. This is something that is clearly in violation of the Privacy Act and all of the guidelines and directions we have put in place. Privacy coordinators and ATIP coordinators in departments know full well that a practice like that would not be condoned.
We have no evidence or awareness that this practice is under way. We would address it directly if we ever heard of it, likely with the deputy minister if we needed to escalate it beyond the ATIP coordinator. But I would state that it is very hypothetical that such a case exists. It's not something we have any awareness of, and it is contrary to anything we believe in with the administration of this.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
