This exchange is heading in the right direction.
Of course, we often talk about protecting personal information from the public's perspective, but I want to focus more on the internal structure of Parliament. You have important work to do in data management, and that work is gaining in importance year after year. Therefore, the underfunding of your office is a problem for the public, certainly, but the situation could also become problematic for the government itself and its internal structure.
Our committee heard from the Information Commissioner, who also told us that her office was underfunded. So we have parliamentary organizations that are underfunded and that have no real clout. For example, I think that, according to a recommendation from the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, a public office holder at fault could receive a $3,000 fine. It's a slap on the wrist for someone who, at the end of their term in Parliament, would still come out ahead fiscally and make more money.
That's where I want to go with my question. Do you think your funding should evolve based on the real crisis we're currently experiencing when it comes to data management and artificial intelligence, which is on the rise?
