Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to come back to the last line of questioning.
I realize that exceptions can be warranted, as you explained, and that's okay. But it opens the door to abuse. We've seen it repeatedly. PIPEDA currently sets out exceptions. Government agencies have made at least 1.2 million requests for information to Internet service providers. So the provisions in PIPEDA have already led to abuses.
And now we are opening the door to more potential abuse. I realize a specific intention is underlying these amendments, but it's very problematic when you open the door up to abuse. I think Canadians want a system that doesn't lend itself to abuse.
Do you think the bill gives them that assurance?
