It's a very good question, sir. It baffles my mind. I honestly have no idea. When I served as commissioner in Ontario, I was always consulted. If I hadn't been consulted, especially on something like this, I would have been extremely concerned, because that's my business—to get under the hood and look at what's taking place.
I cannot imagine why the government—PHAC—did not consult properly with the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, Daniel Therrien, who is an excellent commissioner in this role. It makes no sense to me.
