Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Stoddart, I would like to go back to your 12 recommendations, specifically the fifth, which reads:
Provide greater discretion for the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada to report publicly on the privacy management practices of government institutions.
Let me read you some other paragraphs:
There is a public expectation that the OPC will investigate and report on matters of public interest. This is particularly so where the privacy issue is already in the public domain. The OPC has been hampered in its ability to speak with the press, with the public, and even with Members of Parliament, due to the existing confidentiality constraints in the Privacy Act.
You also write: So, if I discover a serious problem with the protection of personal information in a department or an institution providing services to Canadians as a whole, it seems to me appropriate, in certain cases, to inform Canadians about it immediately instead of waiting 18 months. This might also encourage departments to pay more careful attention to the protection of personal information.
I would like to hear a little more of what you have to say on that. Can you give us an example of a case that you would inform the public about as a matter of public interest?
