Yes, I agree with you. A policy is a policy and the government is not respecting it. The Auditor General said that she had the same concerns. She would like assessments to be made before such projects are implemented or go forward and before funds are allocated to them.
Certain technologies that are not really new, for instance the famous BlackBerrys, have an impact on privacy. Would it be possible to give us guidelines on federal government surveillance of PIN to PIN communications involving BlackBerrys? Can an employer have access to them? Can non-authorized and unjustified communications that took place using BlackBerrys be reconstituted? Could this be used for administrative investigations into frauds?
