Thank you for that clarification. It was very instructive, once again.
I would like to go back to a point which was mentioned by several experts, as well as by the Privacy Commissioner, which is that expansive information sharing opens the door to federal government surveillance.
Does the Security of Canada Information Sharing Act contain new means the government could use to collect information, or does it simply provide a framework for information sharing?
According to certain experts, this could increase the surveillance of citizens by the government.
Can you confirm that the Security of Canada Information Sharing Act contains new powers allowing the government to collect more information than what was already permitted by law?
Perhaps Ms. Pillay could answer that question.
