Thank you, Chair.
We talked about privacy constitutionality of this intergovernmental agreement. As you may know the leading constitutional lawyer of Canada, Mr. Peter Hogg, has said it's unconstitutional. One of our leading constitutional lawyers, Joseph Arvay, has now embarked in a constitutional challenge to this law.
At the briefing, your officials told us that the minister and Department of Justice are responsible for making sure that our laws are consistent with our constitution. However, legal experts have said that the intergovernmental agreement implicitly repeals a number of laws. Since our meeting, have you obtained an opinion from the Department of Justice on the constitutionality or from outside counsel?
