Let me start with the Cindy Blackstock case, because when I was preparing my remarks, I debated as to whether I would use the PIA—the privacy impact assessment—from the RCMP, or the Cindy Blackstock case. For this, I chose the RCMP, which had a positive result. The RCMP was extremely good and well understood, but it was important for us to arc back to the charter.
With Cindy Blackstock, this is what occurred. Two departments—the Department of Aboriginal Affairs, as it then was called, and the Department of Justice—had monitored Cindy Blackstock, a first nations children's rights activist.
