My initial response to that question is that there is a threshold in our provincial legislation that the data must be necessary for the operation of a program.
The inclusion of the word “necessary” in our legislation [Technical difficulty—Editor] the amount of over-collection and therefore protects from over-sharing in the after sense. The inclusion of “necessary” covers off the concern about whether information may be over-shared in one sense. In the other sense, in our case, we do have in our legislation the requirement for information sharing agreements, which would typically make the process transparent or—in the case of information that is sensitive for national security—at least ensure that the appropriate protective measures are being implemented when information sharing agreements are put in place.
