I believe the current test is simply the consistent use once the information is gathered. I think it's very important for the Privacy Act to mirror not only PIPEDA but much provincial legislation, in that there's a test. You can't just collect anything and then say you'll collect anything. There's only a limit as long as it's used consistently.
There's an initial test: there has to be a reason for it, there has to be some kind of necessity. In the provinces, if you look at them generally, there's either necessity or law enforcement, which is a general...I. won't say it's an exemption, but it's a recognition of the particular role of public security forces like the police, or legislation. There's specific legislation the legislature has addressed its mind to and said the government will collect information for this. You have none of these specifics in the current Privacy Act, and in PIPEDA there's information that a reasonable person would consider justified in the circumstances for the purposes. So I'm contrasting both the provincial and PIPEDA to the general laissez-faire approach of the Privacy Act.
