I would, in terms of it. I think it's difficult. I don't envy the legislative drafters' task of trying to articulate that. Courts have consistently talked about proportionality, and it's far more nuanced than what lends itself to black-letter law, but I do think that is in fact what needs to be taken into account.
Is the benefit to government operation or the country as a whole proportional to any trade-off in privacy? I think those are questions that should be asked on a regular basis.
A privacy impact assessment provides a really good framework for asking all those questions, surfacing unintended privacy consequences, and forcing the decision-maker within government to think this might be something we can mitigate this way, or maybe we don't need all that sort of detail. But without that methodology to systematically address it, very easily those nuances can get lost and you're not making the best-informed decisions.
