Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess we're popular this morning.
I'm trying to focus on the job at hand that FINTRAC has. I'm going to try to stay away from the privacy issues. I think some of my other colleagues will probably be interested in that aspect. I want to make sure that FINTRAC has the tools to do the job they need to do.
Are you happy with the amendments in this legislation, Bill C-25? Shouldn't we be looking to put in more amendments so that there's more interaction between departments?
I refer to the audit of the Auditor General, in chapter 2, where we found that the administration would “limit the value” of FINTRAC's disclosure to law enforcement and security agencies, and it goes on and on: law enforcement agents told us the tombstone data they receive is “too limited to justify launching investigations”.
I have a problem with that. I had a problem with it when FINTRAC appeared before the finance committee. I think FINTRAC should be given more ability to exchange information.
What's your feeling on that?
