Minister, I think you're missing the point. This data does exist. PHAC may not have received it in the report it got, as we got a copy of one of the BlueDot, but the information exists somewhere.

Did PHAC ensure that there were clear guardrails put in place so that the privacy of Canadians was protected at every step of the way, for the 33 million users of cellphones across this country whose data was then aggregated and sent to the department?

There are a lot of steps between somebody's cellphone being observed and the information that was sent to PHAC. Were clear guardrails in place, yes or no?
