Thank you, Minister.

I believe that on our side, there are three lawyers sitting on this committee, if I'm not mistaken. I think Pam and I are the only ones who are not lawyers.

There's a balance required in terms of the Privacy Act and these privacy impact assessments that are made by the government. Can you speak to that?

Before you answer, Minister, you are prudently undertaking a spending review at the Treasury Board, and I take it that there is no impact from that on how the government views privacy. Could you speak to ongoing successful measures with regard to your spending review?
