Ms. Tribe mentioned in her opening remarks the recent executive order by President Trump having to do with not having U.S. privacy law extend its protection to non-American citizens. From any of you who care to answer, I'm wondering if you think there is a way to work in reasonable legislative protection for information, either to this statute or to some other law governing the sharing of information practices.
If information is being shared between departments and one department doesn't have a mandate to share that information with some other country that may not have the same protection for Canadians' privacy, but a statute like SCISA allows that information to be transferred seamlessly to another department that does, do you think there are reasonable ways within the law to afford Canadians some protection from other governments with which we would want to share information for specific purposes? Once that information has left the border, so to speak—which is a funny way to speak when we're talking about technology and information sharing, because it doesn't know those borders—is there some reasonable way to try to incorporate protections for Canadian citizens into our own law, or is that information out of our hands once it is shared?
