Mr. Colpitts, this recommendation is number 10 of the Privacy Commissioner's points for consideration. In addition, she has provided some other.... I'm not going to go into it, but I would hope you would take the opportunity to examine the commentary. There are a couple of concerns, one about the existence of agreements and being in writing. I'm not sure whether there are examples of where that may not be the case in terms of the information, and also there is a question about whether the personal information is used for administering or enforcing law or conducting an investigation.
The act doesn't impose any duty to disclose on the disclosing institution to identify the precise purpose, so she has a problem with the Privacy Act requirements in terms of the disclosure. I'm not sure whether or not that really impacts on the discharging of your responsibilities, but your commentary would be appreciated on whether or not this is a matter in which the effectiveness of the Privacy Act is being mitigated by the absence of some technique or something that can be done to remediate the situation.
I commend the commentary. It's only two pages long. You could have a look at this and the committee would appreciate your specific feedback on recommendation number 10.
Madame Lavallée, for a final intervention.
