Thanks.
Commissioner, this committee has tabled three reports with the government over the past year or so recommending in each of those reports that your powers be expanded, that you have order-making powers, that there be more serious and significant penalties for violations, that in terms of the act itself, the government consider the GDPR and upgrade, renovate, and stiffen Canadian privacy regulations from the very barely acceptable level we're at today.
Would you recommend that your office be a direct participant, a hand on the pen at the table, as the design of digital government is considered and written? In other words, do you think it's essential that the Privacy Commissioner be a key partner in any project going ahead, either in the early stages or certainly in later stages of digital government?
