Thank you, Chair.
We have a tremendous quality of life and we come together collectively, but we also have private or personal lives, our family lives. That privacy is an important component of our quality of life.
We were just talking about these new technologies: real-time surveillance, personal genetic information gathering, etc. These technologies are rapidly evolving and posing threats.
We just talked about the threat risk assessments you do, but when I look at your budget, I notice that for this coming year it's $22.3 million, and then it drops back down to $22 million basically, and you then have it going at $22 million over the next couple of years after that. The numbers seem conservative to me. I would have thought that with these threats to Canadians' privacy and the threats collectively, we would be ramping up the resources within your department to deal with these types of threats.
Have we done a cost analysis of how to deal with these threats, to be proactive as opposed to being strictly reactive?
