Mr. Therrien, I have a quick question for you. I was talking to the analyst here and something came across my mind, and it came out of the last meeting as well.
When electronic health records were brought up by a previous witness, we found, through a bit of investigation, that if the electronic health records or the data or the doctor's records—a person's medical records—were in a doctor's private practice, those would fall under provincial or federal private sector privacy legislation. Yet if that same medical record were in a hospital, it would fall under provincial or federal government privacy legislation, depending on where that document actually was.
If I give my accountant my information for tax purposes, the relationship with my accountant, I am assuming, falls under private sector privacy legislation. Yet my accountant is going to file my taxes on my behalf to the government, which then makes that information under the public sector privacy information.
So, with all of this overlap and confusion between private sector and public sector and information exchanging hands in this way, does it make sense that we have two sets of laws, one for the private sector and one for the public sector?
