Mr. Carroll, you have talked a lot about the right to know or the right of access. As a politician, I will use examples here that may be far afield. In the election, maybe Mr. Zimmer wants to know who owns a gun and maybe I want to know who has a pet, and we're going to be knocking on doors and trying to target people. I think the right to access has a necessary moderating influence, in the sense that I'm going to be less likely to collect a mountain of information if I know that you, as a voter, are going to be able to see what I've collected about you. I'm probably not going to collect information that you're divorced if I have a great Divorce Act amendment because I think it's going to be really good for you. If you're able to access that, then I'm not going to do it. I think that's a really important right as far as it goes. As politicians, I think we should all subject ourselves to that right of citizens.
The right to correct makes a lot of sense to me as well. It's better for me. It's better for you as a voter.
The right to delete.... I don't know if you have turned your minds to other rights as far as it goes. As someone running for office, I can access certain information that is given to me by Elections Canada that isn't given to people who aren't. I don't think that information should be deleted as far as it goes.
With respect to other information, how far should that right to delete go? If I know you are really concerned about the global compact for migration and I don't really want to get you out to vote because I think that's a crazy position to take, should I delete that if you ask me to delete it?
