And if a project was submitted to you, how would you apply the Privacy Act, specifically as part of an open data process?
A representative of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario appeared before the committee and said that, in an open government, we need to take into consideration personal information from the outset before we even begin the open data disclosure process. If we wait until the process has already begun to do that, it becomes really unworkable. The Commissioner, Ms. Cavoukian, who is really a champion in her field, suggests this way of operating.
Do you agree with that approach?
