Mr. Daniel Therrien at the Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities Committee

I'm commenting on the bill before you now, which is to repeal these provisions. If other amendments were before me, I wouldn't comment on what Parliament presents, but I guess accountability is certainly a factor here.

I would urge that there be a balance between measures that promote accountability and measures that respect privacy. Do you have to repeal all of the provisions? Perhaps you do not, but that's the bill that is before us.

I believe that on the whole this bill is much preferable, from a privacy perspective.
