We're ahead of ourselves, but I think it's on the record. I will look closely at the transcript. I think we have a lot of good ideas on the table, but I think we'd better deal with these one at a time.
There is a subamendment by Mr. Wrzesnewskyj that the date be amended to January 15. All those in favour?
(Amendment agreed to)
We have the amendment now by Mr. Siksay, which amends the main motion to include.... Okay. Mr. Del Mastro's motion says we request “that the minister address each recommendation made individually”, and the amendment would read “by the committee and the Privacy Commissioner” for greater certainty that it's.... We want all of them, even the ones we didn't support. And it adds that the response be by January 15.
Does everybody understand what we are doing here? It says basically all the 12 included in the 10th report, and the January 15 date. That is the amendment as amended.
All those in favour?
(Amendment agreed to)
Now we have the motion as amended:
That the Committee write to the Minister of Justice to express its desire for a more comprehensive response of its 10th report entitled “The Privacy Act: First Step Towards Renewal”. Specifically, the committee requests that the Minister address each recommendation made individually by the Committee and the Privacy Commissioner and provide background for his caution and concerns. The committee further requests that the minister respond by January 15, 2010.
I think that's exactly what Mr. Del Mastro would have written had he written the whole thing himself.
