Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to all of you for being here and preparing for us today, and for waiting for us to vote. It is not a fun part of the votes.
I want to throw this question out for everybody. In reading some of the background material on this, I see that there is a lower expectation of privacy at border crossings at airports, and on land as well. This comes from two specific cases: the Privacy Commissioner's own document, entitled “Your privacy at airports and borders”, and also the 1988 Supreme Court case, R. v. Simmons, which mentions that “travellers seeking to cross national borders fully expect to be subject to a screening process”. I didn't really think about that much until reading this. There does seem to be a lower expectation, in that we go through security and now go through scanners.
Perhaps you can comment on whether that is based on legislation that's in place, in your opinion, or is it just societal norms that have changed from the beginning of airports to now?
Maybe we'll start with you, Ms. Bhandari.
