Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The other thing I would like to address is the usage of the term “personal cellphone data” earlier and also the word “scandal” in referring to the usage of such data. When I google my route to work, for example, oftentimes Waze or Google will tell me that a specific route is busy. If you google a restaurant location or a grocery store location, oftentimes Google will tell you that location is busy.
The same data is used and has been used—it's not secret—by the Public Health Agency of Canada. In fact, I believe that Dr. Tam was tweeting about it last summer in a transparent manner, telling Canadians how their data, which is aggregated, non-personal, and anonymized.... That means it's not as though they know Adam Van Koeverden was at the grocery store yesterday; they just know that more people were at the grocery store or something like that.
I was hoping that one of the officials who knows more about this than I do, and certainly more about this than members of this committee referring to it as personal data do, could elaborate, please.
