Mr. Chairman, thank you.
I kind of agree with Mr. Martin. This whole topic is very daunting, really. In this place alone, this complex of Parliament Hill, there are people with cameras on BlackBerrys, and everything is recorded. You can't breathe without being recorded. I mean, you literally have no privacy. People drive down streets with machines; they can figure out what you're saying on your laptop inside your house. I mean, it's incredible.
Then you look at the issues of privacy versus the right to information versus the obligation of a nation, Canada, to national security. The whole topic of transborder information, as I think you described it, is really incredible in terms of what we have to go through. You listed off 10 amendments.
Mr. Chairman, quite frankly, we may have to see some other witnesses about these 10 suggestions. We really haven't given the Privacy Commissioner an opportunity to elaborate on these points. We can all read them, but I expect she could give us a lecture on each one. They're difficult topics. If someone here were to ask us simple things, such as the definition of personal information, what does that mean?
I assume you've sat around and philosophized about that.
Mr. Chairman, I really don't have any questions, other than the fact that I believe we need some guidance from the commissioner and her staff on this. I don't know where you're going to fit it in, but I think they should come back again and we should spend some more time just listening to their suggestions, or even, just as a starter, to them elaborating on these 10 points.
I have no questions, just this observation to make.
