I don't think so.
The comments the committee has heard so far all point to the same concern, a privacy impact assessment examines the program, not the technology. As the Competition Bureau Canada officials told the committee on Tuesday, this type of tool has been in place since 1996, before the Treasury Board directive was introduced. Other organizations such as Shared Services Canada have privacy directives that predate the use of these tools. It's wrong to think that the data are the same as they always were. More and more data are available thanks to these new technologies.
