Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to the witnesses for joining us today.
Ms. Austin, I think it was you who talked about the importance of government agencies gathering data in order to develop social programs. However, the problem is not just about gathering data; it is also about storing the gathered data, if I may put it that way. Think of recent examples, specifically the Canada Revenue Agency; whether personal information was lost or accidentally disclosed doesn’t really matter.
What should be done to make sure that data are not only collected appropriately but also protected appropriately once they have been gathered?
The same question goes to the other witnesses too.
