The motion I put forward is instructive in that we have to consider this, but again the details are left to the committee. I think this is the perfect committee to review this because you're doing lots of work in this area at the moment.
I did go to the U.K. and talk to the House leader's office there and the backbench committee that looks after this. They've gone through a number of iterations of this process. Initially, the e-petitions in the U.K. were housed in the prime minister's office. Prime Minister Tony Blair had put it in place explicitly for this reason of harvesting data. It was then moved out of there under David Cameron, to further protect people's privacy.
When you look at these various petition systems, for example, what shows up online often is the name and city and that's it. Sometimes nothing shows up online, like in the White House system; they don't provide information online. I think that is probably something that will have to be debated here, and again, this is the perfect place to do so. I would err on the side of privacy for Canadians.
The thing is, what has happened in Australia, for example, where they've had this in for about a decade, is they have done minor tweaks as they've gone through this process, so it would be worth talking to some people who have used that system and ask about the kinds of things that they've done and how we could tweak this to make sure it meets your privacy concerns.
For me, the important thing is that Canadians have their voice heard, not that parties harvest data.
