In terms of recommendations, we've highlighted a number of priority recommendations for law reform, which I think are relevant in the context of what you do to protect the mobility of Canadians.
You need to make sure there is strong enforcement if there is non-compliance. You need to make sure there is a proper assessment, whether it's a privacy impact assessment or privacy by design, and make sure you bring this to the forefront. There are good elements of that in Bill C-15 in terms of consumer-based banking and making the consent express and user-friendly. These are things we always recommend and want to see.
Things like preventing the identifying of privacy breaches are major challenges to society all over the world, not just in Canada, and we're seeing them increase in number and magnitude. I talked about the 23andMe major breach I investigated with my counterparts from the U.K. There was very sensitive genetic information, and hundreds of thousands of individuals were impacted. We need to work on that.
This also costs money to organizations, so it's bad for everyone. The regulations need to provide for good safeguards and good reporting mechanisms in consumer-based banking. They're talking about immediately advising the entity responsible. We need to do all of those things, and there needs to be good and strong collaboration between regulators when there's potential overlap, as there would be here.
I look forward to working with the Bank of Canada as I am working already with the Competition Bureau and the CRTC. Digital issues and mobility issues don't stop at the border of one regulator or even one jurisdiction, so that collaboration is essential.
