Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The amendment being moved corresponds exactly to the testimony of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. I think his testimony is essential and must be considered when we study a bill that directly concerns his sector of responsibility. The Privacy Commissioner suggested that the threshold that allows for the sharing of information without consent had to be raised. There has to be more than simple suspicion.
Through this amendment, I suggest that we lift the threshold so that the organization must have reasonable grounds to believe that the information relates to an investigation.
I think that this amendment is greatly needed. I hope the government will accept it, even though we know it does not intend to change the bill and simply wants to ignore the testimony we have heard.
