With respect, Minister, you are the elected official, the cabinet minister, who provides that oversight that Canadians expect. The fact that there have been less than direct answers I think is very, very telling of that culture of secrecy that seems to be involving.... Certainly, I hear often from constituents who are frustrated with the actions of this government when it comes to its unwillingness to be forthcoming with what I think are very, very simple questions.
Minister, we see specifically some of what the Privacy Commissioner spoke of this morning, that it's only been after the media reported on this ODIT technologies being used that the RCMP...that now the Privacy Commissioner is engaged with the RCMP. Does it concern you that this confirms a trend, which we've seen from your government, where only after public scrutiny, and in many cases parliamentary and media criticism, is action taken to, in your words, “build trust and confidence” of Canadians?
