I appreciate that the honourable member is in a difficult circumstance because we literally just tabled the bill, and I'm happy to have any ongoing conversations. Obviously, we want your feedback. I appreciate that.
There are two things about that. Number one, the piece of legislation, the protecting privacy and consumer data act, is very clear on the regulations for how Canadians' private information is going to be treated, and it will be setting up, as many have called for, a regulator. It's using the same regulator for the safe social media act. That regulator will have enforcement powers to keep Canadians safe and to make sure that private information is safe.
As for the second part of your question about cross-border concerns, I think you were asking about what happens if data crosses the border. The chain of custody is really important, and any company that is.... Data travels. They will have to fill out a privacy impact assessment. The onus is not on the businesses. They have clear rules—privacy impact assessments—for how they treat information, and the regulator can ask for it if there's a complaint.
I think for everybody it's common sense that we want to know, when we're giving our personal information to a company, how they're treating it and that it's safe when it crosses borders.
