Thank you, Chair. Welcome to the minister and his officials.
Minister, I agree with you with regard to PIPEDA and this legislation being long overdue. Clearly, technology has advanced at such a pace that legislation must catch up with so much of what can occur within the technology and the world around us today.
An area of concern to me as a grandparent is with my young grandchildren who, when I watch them on technology today, function much faster and ably as they work their way through their iPads or whatever it might be. One of the concerns I have is how this bill will protect my grandchildren and those of all Canadians. Can you expand a little bit on your opening comments in that regard and what penalties exist for those who break that trust?
