Sébastien Lemire at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you also for making an effort to speak French.

Mr. Therrien, in the winter and spring of 2022, the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics conducted a study on the collection of use of mobility data by the federal government. Further to your written replies to questions from committee members and the resulting report, how urgent is it for Parliament to audit or conduct a legislative review of federal privacy legislation?

Let us consider PIPEDA specifically. We know that Minister Champagne was supposed to introduce reforms this winter.
