Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I find it interesting that my colleague should say that we do not monitor Canadians. Indeed, it's clear to me that none of my colleagues are monitoring the population. There is nevertheless a form of surveillance in the contexts that were mentioned.
Mr. Napier, when people from the RCMP testify before the committee, they often tell us that they use data from cellular telephones. It today's equivalent to what used to be done with a hidden microphone and a lamp. The difference is that much more information can be obtained from a telephone than a microphone hidden in a lamp. The technology is taking us in a completely different direction.
You said earlier that you had started conducting privacy impact assessments in December.
