Thank you very much. I will get into specificity.
I think what we're seeing here, Mr. Chair, is a huge gap between the way in which the RCMP views its role in public safety and the way in which our committee, as an elected civil society group, views its role. I want to get specific, because the language does matter when we talk about things like mass surveillance, and that's why I can appreciate my colleague's frustration that the answers have not sufficed.
In the investigation of the RCMP's use of Clearview AI, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner found that the company's technology allowed law enforcement to match photographs to a database of three billion images scraped from the Internet—three billion.
Mr. Sage, would you not agree that three billion images would constitute, quite rightly, mass surveillance?
