Thank you for some very good information.
I want to visit this idea of ownership and right of access, building on the idea of government having very different incentives of providing services, not monetizing. On ownership of data, if it's a company or a political party, and you say you'd like this deleted, then it's easy for us to see why they would have to delete your data. If you want to look at your criminal record or your CRA file or something like that, obviously the citizen doesn't have the same kind of right to delete, amend, change or even to see everything that's there. We're looking at a very different kind of circumstance when we're looking at government collecting data. I wanted to put that to you.
Mr. Vickery especially, you were the one who said that the only way you can have ownership of data is if databases are not talking to each other. You also mentioned translating between databases, but government is doing that all the time, or at least that's something that would be proposed if we had this kind of system.
How do you see those kinds of privacy rules, ownership, consent and right of access in the context of digitized government?
I'll start with Mr. Carroll and then Mr. Vickery, if you want to add anything.
