If we start with the potential amendment that would make it a legal requirement as opposed to simply a policy for departments and institutions, including the RCMP, to proceed with privacy impact assessments, it's a good start.
On this point—and Commissioner Dufresne spoke about the role of the OPC here—I just suggested to Mr. Villemure that perhaps you want to make recommendations, not only on creating a legal requirement but on having a certain definition of what these PIAs are for. I would encourage you to consider the role of the OPC and the role of the courts.
I don't think the OPC should duplicate the role the courts play under part VI of the Criminal Code. I think the OPC's added value to the courts would be to look proactively at a program level, not at an individual case level, the conditions under which the tool would be used and make recommendations to that effect.
