First, if I have more time at the end, I'll share it with Mr. Erskine-Smith.
Thank you all for being here. My question is for Madam McPhail and Mr. Israel.
In the Privacy Act there is a general prohibition on information sharing, but then in subsection 8(2), there is a whole list of exceptions, such as, for instance, information shared in accordance with federal legislation or regulation. Then along comes a bill such as Bill C-51, which allows for information sharing among, I think, 17 government institutions or agencies, maybe more or less.
How should we approach the exceptions to information sharing, and do you have any recommendations?
