Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We've talked about how the act was supposed to be technology neutral. We've heard stories, for instance, of CSEC collecting metadata of Canadians in Canadian airports back in 2010. Those stories were revealed by the CBC. We assume that the explanation that CSEC would have for it is that metadata is not personal information per se, and they can therefore collect it.
Do you think it would be appropriate in the Privacy Act to include metadata so that it will be considered personal information and clearly defined as such?
