As the Privacy Commissioner, my mandate is to promote and protect the privacy rights of Canadians in the public and the private sector. That's the mission that I have and that my office and my colleagues have. But my vision would be that we have a culture of privacy in Canada throughout the whole of government, and that whatever organization, whatever department, including the RCMP, has privacy as a consideration.
The RCMP has its own mission and its own mandate in terms of protecting Canadians. They can talk about it more eloquently than I can, but I concluded my remarks by describing it as being vital and important to Canada. It's of fundamental importance. My goal is that, by doing so, they nonetheless have privacy as top of mind. I think that is doable. I think that strengthens privacy, which is a fundamental right, but it also strengthens the mission of organizations, in this case law enforcement, in protecting Canadians, because it generates trust and ensures that Canadians will know what they can do and what's being done. I think that ultimately helps the RCMP in its mandate.
