At CBSA we have policies that cover basically all possible legislative authorities for disclosure. We have a policy, for example, under section 107 of the Customs Act. We have a policy under the Privacy Act, section 8. We have a policy under SCISA. Granted, there might not be written agreements for every exchange of information, but there's policy governance to assist with those disclosures.
Now, our concern, if you will, is that you would try to implement a written agreement for all consistent-use disclosures. As you know, the Privacy Act is subject to other acts of Parliament that already have governing disclosure provisions, so in terms of consistent use, to have a written agreement for every single one would be very problematic.
Apart from that, when it's not a consistent use, we would agree, and support, that you need a governing framework, an authority, written and signed, to share that information.
