Alexandre Boulerice at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Sherman, for being here today. I must admit that I am one of those politicians who uses Facebook quite a lot most of the time.

I will seize this opportunity. So along the same lines as Mr. Calkins' questions on your data use policy, I'll read you an excerpt from the chapter that deals with the use of information you receive. I would like you to tell me if I have understood correctly. It reads as follows:

While you are allowing us to use the information we receive about you, you always own all of your information. Your trust is important to us, which is why we don't share information we receive about you with others unless we have:

received your permission;

given you notice, such as by telling you about it in this policy; ...

In other words, people who do not read the policy and click on "I agree" are basically giving you the right to use personal information, such as their photos.
