Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning to you, to the minister and his officials, and to all my colleagues around the table.
We are talking about Bill S-4. In today's technological environment, it is indeed important to bring forward measures like these, but it is also important to make sure that personal information is well-protected.
Let's get right into it and look at new section 7(3)(d)(i), which deals with exceptions to consent requirements. It says that the information can be disclosed if the organization "has reasonable grounds to believe that the information relates to a contravention of the laws of Canada, a province or a foreign jurisdiction that has been, is being or is about to be committed".
How can an organization determine the relevance of the information it is sharing to a federal or provincial contravention, all the while protecting individuals' rights?
