Thank you, Chair.
I'd like each witness to give a brief statement—and we had a bit of that from B.C.—and describe a little about the nature of the types of privacy breaches you receive. We're talking about mandatory reporting, and the number of breaches could be quite high, at least based on the B.C. experience of an estimate of around 1% of the current breaches being reported. If all breaches are to be reported, a privacy breach can be any of a number of things, from the careless leaving behind of a piece of paper to a sophisticated cyber-attack, or a lost laptop containing thousands or maybe even millions of different records.
More specifically in the way that specific lives might be affected by such breaches, could each of you give a quick, even anecdotal, discussion of the kinds of things we're dealing with? I'll start with our Newfoundland and Labrador witnesses, Mr. Molloy and Mr. Murray.
