Unless I'm mistaken, Mr. Szabo, a number of experts will be meeting in Toronto on April 26 and 27 to discuss proactive disclosure. Is that correct?
We will be here in Ottawa to hear testimony from the Privacy Commissioner while experts will be discussing this issue. Perhaps we will be looking at the same issues and I do not believe that the committee, given its mandate, can simply take it upon itself to send one or two members to report back on the conference.
I propose that all committee members attend the conference. As I see it, this meeting is relevant to the work that we are doing in the area of proactive disclosure. The information is there. Why sit for hours and hours just to listen to one witness while we could hear from these experts who have already gathered for the conference?
Besides, collecting information and hearing from pertinent witnesses on the issue of proactive disclosure is part of our mandate and mission. Therefore, I propose that all committee members attend this conference.
