I guess what I would say here is I think that part of the problem in this whole situation is the fact that we have companies and we have governments trying to do their best to address how to use data appropriately in this environment for socially beneficial purposes, but we don't have the updated legal frameworks that would apply to them. We don't have clear provisions that say, “This is what you need to do. This is the role of the Privacy Commissioner with respect to de-identified data. This is how transparency is achieved when data is shared for socially beneficial purposes and this is how we define those purposes.” All of this is taking place in this context where we don't have the modernized frameworks for this type of activity in place.
