Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to try to pick up where I left off and give you another opportunity to explain the real reasons behind why we need to make these changes. I've asked you for specific examples. You've suggested that for confidentiality reasons you can't discuss how this applies in the private sector. You've given us some provincial examples.
The only federal example that I can think of immediately would be Canadians' tax records. That is because of the possible embarrassment or the negotiating position that might emerge if all this information were made public. I also understand that there are severe consequences for this information being leaked from Revenue Canada, including Criminal Code sanctions. So I think there's a very strong disincentive for that to happen.
Can you think of another commonplace example of where we could use this as a justification for this massive change we're talking about, this massive expense that might emerge if we pursue this path? In other words, what are the consequences of not addressing these concerns?
