That's precisely it. It's a bit of a long story, but we had an extensive debate on the subject in British Columbia around the turn of the century. The provincial government contracted private organizations to provide certain government services, including the medical services plan and the pharmacare plan.
The information in the databank is obviously very personal and sensitive in nature. The company the provincial government hired was American, Maximus. It was also around the time when the USA PATRIOT Act came into force. It sparked a big controversy. Our privacy commissioner at the time, Mr. Loukidelis, was very concerned about what could happen to this kind of personal information and about the possibility of it being subject to American laws, specifically, the USA PATRIOT Act.
