I would hearken back to the minister's comments a week or so back when he was talking about proposed section 6.1 being designed or intended to better protect the especially vulnerable groups, particularly vulnerable groups in society such as children, and I think that is an important objective of PIPEDA. Many experts believe that PIPEDA has built into it now the provisions that allow the Privacy Commissioner to specify the forms of consent that are needed in specific circumstances relating to children or adults.
I would also point out that a combination of best practices and self-regulatory regimes is out there in the marketplace, as well as PIPEDA, that helps to protect certain groups. Our own code of ethics embodies provisions specifically designed to protect children, especially those under 13.
