I will also be asking for responses in written form. Having heard your responses to my Bloc colleague previously, I invite you to read a report that was made by the Department of Justice, which did consultations on the Privacy Act. Between 2020 and 2022, the Department of Justice led engagement efforts with indigenous partners on Privacy Act modernization. This resulted in, among other things, a publication entitled “Privacy Act Modernization: Report on 2022 Engagement with Indigenous Partners”. As of today, in February 2024, a government bill to reform the Privacy Act has not been introduced in the House of Commons.
I have two questions. First, do you think there is an urgent need to reform the Privacy Act, and if so, why? Second, what are the most significant amendments that you would like to see made to the act, based on your reading of the report?
