Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to the witnesses for joining us this afternoon.
Mr. Martin-Bariteau, my questions go to you.
In your brief you say this: “In terms of drafting, the act should remain conceived according to the principle of technological independence and be principles-based.”
The Privacy Commissioner has said that the act should be technologically neutral and based on principles. Given those comments, it looks like we are on the same wavelength.
However, you say that, compared to other federal legislation, there is no doubt that this act is one of the worst drafted, because it has, to an extent, been copied. That being the case, what do you suggest? How can we go about reworking it, rather than improving what we have now?
