Thank you.
The only thing I would suggest is that there be.... I don't want to appear to be pushing my luck, because we go to great lengths to comply with the Privacy Act. As you know, we also recently had trouble with our exam bank, and we got that on track and we fixed it. So we're going to slip from time to time.
There are exemptions for legitimate law enforcement activities within the act. Both the Treasury Board policies and our policies recognize the special nature of these investigative responsibilities that we carry—balancing against the need to ensure the charter is upheld. I would suggest there be a more precise recognition of the nature of operational necessities in terms of national security investigations and other serious investigations.
I'll make this short. In understanding the Privacy Act, many corporate people and other areas of government are overly restrictive in how they interpret the act and what information they are prepared to share with us as we go forward. We find ourselves often getting production orders and search warrants for matters in which I think many senior lawyers would argue they are not necessary, out of concern over the Privacy Act. But other than that, I'll limit my comments.
