Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Therrien, thank you for being here this afternoon.
We all agree that the protection of privacy is really important. But there may be some exceptional cases where a public office holder may be in conflict with the provisions of certain pieces of legislation. Public office holders may influence legislation or major directions for our country. They may also inadvertently promote their privacy and personal affairs.
It's a very fine line. In fact, we more or less have the information needed to know if this person is breaking certain laws or, sometimes, we don't necessarily have the answers we might expect from this person.
