The transfer of data outside Canada is an issue that needs to be controlled. I don't think we can stop it completely because international trade is based on that. We need to strike a balance between privacy, national security and digital sovereignty while enabling international trade. In this connection, privacy measures are useful because they come with other elements related to consent and transparency.
Do we know what is happening? Are we okay with what is happening? Is it easy to say no? Is it for the appropriate purposes? It's important to verify all of these points with regard to digital vehicles, in Canada and abroad, but even more so when data leaves Canadian jurisdiction.
