Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Commissioner.
It's interesting to see.... Brian Patterson, I have to admit, is a constituent of mine, and to be honest with you, I didn't even know he could turn on a computer, let alone access a database, which he certainly has no access to in my office. But I suppose that in the confines of parliamentary privilege and how the Liberals have comported themselves on a number of issues, throwing sleaze around is something that happens from time to time at a committee like this.
I noticed that in your report you mentioned--I'll quote you--with respect to the Olympics that you “came away convinced that the Vancouver Olympic Games provided a valuable lesson in balancing security and privacy rights at mega-events--lessons that could be refined and applied again at future national or international gatherings on Canadian soil”.
Of course, I think we are all proud of the Olympics and the type of year we've had with respect to holding international events. I'm wondering if you could say, in comparison to other jurisdictions, whether Canada has become a leader in balancing privacy and security at the same time.
