We noted that the Treasury Board has within its policies an open-by-default mandate, one that would have departments proactively engaging with the Privacy Commissioner on issues such as this, and yet, when you look at study of the Health Canada's use of mobile device data that we had to conduct, when you look at Clearview AI, when you look at what's before us here today, what you'll note is a habit of constantly playing catch-up with what these departments are doing.
There doesn't seem to be a culture of transparency and openness by default in this government, and it doesn't seem that these departments are willing to, in a proactive way, engage with the Privacy Commissioner. This is now the third situation that I think could have been avoided at committee, quite frankly, if these agencies had gone on record and pursued privacy impact assessments with full engagement and full co-operation. Would you not agree?
