Thank you for the question.

Over the course of the relationship with the Public Health Agency, the issue of privacy did come up on many occasions. We had that conversation directly with the Public Health Agency about procedures and how we were working with the data and so forth. Certainly, I wouldn't have full knowledge of how the Public Health Agency may have spoken to the Privacy Commissioner. I can't speak to that specific piece, but between BlueDot and the Public Health Agency, this was a topic of discussion over the course of the relationship.
