Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Madam Commissioner and Madam Assistant Commissioner, welcome to this committee.
Ms. Stoddart, thank you for the political independence your report exemplifies. You do not hesitate to say, among other things, that you were disappointed by the government's refusal to reform the Privacy Act.
Our committee received—I expect that you were informed of this—a response from the Honourable Rob Nicholson, Minister of Justice, to a report we had submitted to the government. The minister entitled that response: “Government response: tenth report of the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics [...]”. Our report was tabled in the House of Commons on June 12, 2009.
In his response, the minister refers to the fact that in our report, we made five recommendations that you had yourself submitted and which were included in the 12 recommendations in your own report. More particularly, the minister said that we had chosen 5 of the 12 recommendations you made.
Are you of the opinion that this committee's report defended your positions well?
Among your own recommendations, are there any you would have liked the committee to give greater attention to?
