With respect to increasing transparency, Ms. Stoddart recommended public reporting requirements. This is with respect to an exception under PIPEDA for lawful authority. Law enforcement agencies are obtaining information from commercial entities. We currently have no public knowledge of how many times that has occurred.

Would you agree with Ms. Stoddart that there should be public reporting requirements to shed light on the exception under PIPEDA that allows law enforcement agencies and institutions to obtain personal information without consent or a warrant?
