Thank you, Mr. Chair. Before the end of the round of questions, and before we leave the room, I would like to raise a procedural question.
Thank you for being here. I have two specific concerns regarding this bill. Like several of my colleagues, I would first like to speak about the protection of privacy. I believe this was something that was raised by all parties. Mr. Dykstra, among others, asked whether we should protect the privacy of criminals and to what extent we should do so.
In my opinion, that is not the problem. Rather, the problem is that we do not know whether the people are criminals or not. That is why we protect people's privacy. You cannot label someone a criminal and share information about that person without taking a number of precautions.
You said that the act provides measures and penalties in the case of unauthorized disclosure of information. What mechanisms for protecting privacy do you plan on implementing in the various organizations?
As Ms. Ablonczy said earlier, it is not enough for a piece of legislation to prohibit the unauthorized disclosure of information. There also needs to be a system to ensure that people who handle such information will not disclose it and that, if they do, we will be able to find out and take appropriate action.
