I would go even further than that. I would put to you that greater discipline with respect to privacy will bring greater effectiveness in public safety measures. I would simply give you the example that being disciplined but collecting only relevant personal information will mean that you will have only information that you truly need for your public safety need, and you, at the same time, adopt a minimalist approach, which is the foundation of collecting personal information.
As you may have noticed, the key message was stated by the commissioner in her opening statement of our annual Privacy Act report. We feel that privacy and security go hand in hand. They are not at odds. We can give several examples of how, indeed, the protection of privacy helps discipline and streamline the public safety national security processes, thereby contributing to their effectiveness in addition to respecting fundamental rights.
