That's a very broad statement, so it's tough to fully endorse it. I do think that information sharing by itself is not necessarily a bad thing. As you point out, obviously agencies need to be able to work together, and if you have two agencies with a different mandate, and one of them has information that is of relevance to the other's duty, certainly information sharing is not necessarily negative. It just needs to be done, first of all, with respect to the principle of data minimization. You need to look very carefully at the organization's mandate to see what kind of information it is keeping, what kind of information it is sharing, and what kind of warehouse it is building, and be sure that is done in a way that's going to keep this information secure and protect the privacy of Canadians. Then beyond that, I would say there's a strong need for clear rules to be put in place.
I don't think we're hostile to sharing information. I think our broad point is that it needs to be done according to clear and carefully constructed rules to ensure that the system operates and that the system can't be pushed in abusive directions.
