Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to witnesses for sharing with us their opinions and practices and for giving us their vision of the issues involved in protecting people's privacy.
I was really struck by your presentations. I noticed that the level of concern was quite different from what we heard from witnesses last week. We had university researchers here to see us and we asked them questions. They were more concerned than you seem to be about the protection of privacy. We got the impression that Canada was dragging its heels little and was falling behind in terms of legislation protecting the privacy and the personal information of Canadians and Quebeckers.
Do you feel that the existing legislation is sufficient? Does it guarantee a balance between economic development, the protection of jobs and the protection of privacy? Is our country in a good position in that regard or are we behind others?
