Actually, if I can be very brief, I think one of the significant needs for Privacy Act reform is the change in the expectations of individuals with respect to what privacy is, what it's about. I think that change was informed significantly by the influence of PIPEDA. That is the standard by which people expect their interactions with business to operate. I do think you should line those up as best you can so that consumers' and citizens' privacy expectations are generally the same and are accorded the same amount of respect in each. They don't map perfectly, but there's a reason they're called fair information practices and principles. To the extent that those principles can be expressed in a statute regulating government, that should be the goal.
