To push back a little bit, I wonder if the government collects information.... The example I used last week was collecting information at the border in terms of individuals leaving the country and how long they're out of the country. If that information is then to be shared with other departments to assess whether individuals can claim certain benefits, or not claim certain benefits because they've been out of the country too long, I wonder if we're talking consistent use there, or if there's a worry with that kind of sharing of information. If we have a test similar to the Oakes test, where it's a pressing and substantial government objective and the sharing of information is necessary and proportionate to that objective, and the salutary benefits outweigh the costs, should we be concerned about that secondary information sharing?
