You are the politicians. You've presumably all used your various party data bases. You know that there's a lot of information collected on a lot of people. One of the problems is that parties are not subject to any restrictions on this. All the various penalties and protections we've been talking about here in terms of the private sector don't apply to political parties, at least not at the federal level.
Again, I would offer you the example of the situation in British Columbia, where the parties are subject to the act and where we have seen the process in action, with the commissioner conducting investigations and issuing reports as a result of complaints about how personal information was being dealt with or about party procedures. The parties have changed the way they deal with things and life goes on. I think everybody involved has a better feeling of how the system works. At least we know that there is some level of protection. If something goes wrong or we feel uncomfortable, we do have an avenue of redress, which doesn't exist right now at the federal level.
