I think my role as Privacy Commissioner, if my appointment is confirmed, would be to be a champion for privacy rights. I have said in my remarks as well that I would work—and that would be my priority—to increase, to improve, the control individuals have over their information, for instance, in relation to private companies, by ensuring that the consent individuals give to the collection and use of information is truly informed. That is a very important concept in privacy law, and that is one I would try to promote to the extent possible.
