We have to significantly reinforce the requirement in the current act for departments and agencies—we were talking about the RCMP just now—to be more careful and vigilant about putting things in writing. A matter of national security does not have to be made public. What is the information that we are going to share with such and such a country for such and such a purpose? What will be done with the information? We would have to make a comprehensive list of the countries and organizations with which we exchange personal information. Eventually, if the government establishes an oversight organization, that organization could make sure that the RCMP complies with the understandings, the exchange lists, the agreements.
