I think there would be a long debate on the ethics of it, but I would put to the committee that if we have technology that goes beyond the spirit of existing legislation, and is known to be such, then in some instances, whether it's the stingray or operation Wide Awake, which was the social media surveillance, or others, if they're not proactively disclosing these things, then it doesn't give legislators the opportunity to keep up with it. I think that's the spirit of what's before us here today.
I referenced the European Convention on Human Rights, which established transparency, accountability, privacy by design and data protection impact assessments . That's a relatively modern piece of legislation. In your mind, how does Canada compare with that?
