Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
The committee has requested a review of the Privacy Act on numerous occasions. Treasury Board announced a review of the act in 2021. As part of that review, I believe every Canadian is being consulted individually, which is time-consuming. The committee has already made various recommendations. Mr. Dufresne is with us this morning and I believe he has told us a million times that a review is needed. So we have to emphasize the need to discuss this again because it seems that the recommendation has not been taken seriously.
It's like anything else: Repetition eventually becomes untenable. We have seen built‑in tools. There have been other studies about privacy. Every time, a review of the act was recommended. All of this will ultimately lead to something.
I think the committee is in agreement since we have heard the same testimony. The commissioner who is present and his predecessor told us the same thing: There is cause for concern. AI will completely change the situation. Even if the tool changes and the 1983 act remains in effect, the rest of the world has changed.
After making the first recommendation in two reports, we have to support the motion in the public interest. I want to stress that again.
