With respect to our department, essentially outside of SCISA the authorities are in the Privacy Act. What do we have in the Privacy Act? We have the provision on consistent use. In our case we're collecting information to assess someone's admissibility to Canada, to assess their request for a passport or their application for citizenship.
The consistent use with respect to national security is somewhat limited in that case. We're essentially limited to being able to confirm the person's name and immigration status in Canada with respect to consistent use, so it doesn't provide much of an avenue.
The other area we can share information under the Privacy Act is when it's requested by an investigative body. There, absolutely, the information can be shared, but in that particular case, it's on request only. We can't proactively provide anything. It's also done as part of the other business under the Privacy Act, whereas under SCISA you again have this designated channel, you have these national security experts who are dealing with it, who are cleared to the appropriate level, and who have the expertise to be able to assess much more clearly and promptly what's provided.
