As a point of clarification, Mr. Chair, we're not trying to delve into new policy areas here. We have been providing our advice in the context of the recommendations that were made by the committee and the response of the government to that report. It was the committee itself, in recommendation 2.7 of your report, that posed this question in the context of identification for purposes of preventing fraud. So it wasn't in anything other than that context that we were looking at it. We were not looking at it in the broader context of other uses to which the personal information may be put.
We were also responding to the recommendation of the committee where the majority of the committee, as indicated on page 15 of your report, in recommendation 2.7, requested that the information not be provided, that “The majority of the Committee believes that this information should not appear on the lists provided to candidates or parties under the Act.” So we were actually responding to the committee's wishes on this rather than creating a new policy area.
