Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank our witnesses who are joining us today. It's a very fruitful conversation.
Dr. Scassa, I would like to start with you, if I may. You made some important points with my colleague Mr. Green about the difference between surveillance data and mobility data. Telus for good was the sole-source contract in December 2020 through PHAC at that time. Prior to that, both the Prime Minister and Dr. Tam had been very clear that they were using the Telus data for good platform. From what I understand, that data was used by universities and others. University researchers, health authorities and others are using the Insights platform to collect really important data that we need during the health crisis. From what I understand they even received the seal of approval of the privacy by design certification on their work. That was the sole-service data provider to PHAC from the time of the public and transparent announcement that was made in April 2020 until the contract of December 2020 right through to October 2021.
In what you've described in this process, if you were a Telus user, would you be comfortable knowing that you could have opted in or opted out, knowing that data which PHAC used was not surveillance but mobility data?
