Yes, it's a subamendment to have eight meetings.
I really appreciate my colleague's comments about making sure that we are managing the business of the committee and tying up some of the reports that we have under way.
When it comes to privacy, we are, first of all, squarely within the mandate of this committee. As my colleague set out, we are a decade or more overdue in terms of an update to a very technical, important piece of legislation. I am certainly aware that the Treasury Board Secretariat has launched a review of the Privacy Act, so this is an opportunity for the committee to have input into the work that government is going to do around that legislation. This is a moment for that.
As a result of all those things, I think you're going to find that there is quite a bit of demand for people to present to this committee so that we have a chance to hear the expertise on this act in order to provide a solid report and input, including from the commissioners themselves, who are the tip of the iceberg on this.
I have no illusions that this will get done in the next month before we break for the summer, but I think we should allocate a slightly longer time frame for it in our meeting schedule if we're realistic about the kind of contribution we want to make.
