Mr. Chair, maybe I'll speak to both amendments Liberal-3 and Liberal-4, because they both pertain to the same clause.
Both of these amendments were supported or proposed or contributed to by several witnesses, including those from the Insurance Bureau of Canada. They deal with the reporting threshold and the remedies for breaches.
Amendment Liberal-3 to clause 10 would require the reporting of any breach of security so long as said breach presented a real and significant threat of harm to an individual. The proposed amendment also clarifies the remedy associated with the breach.
If I can speak to amendment Liberal-4 on the same clause, this amendment was supported and proposed again by several witnesses, including those in the Insurance Bureau, and it requires that, unless otherwise prohibited by law, an organization shall, in accordance with any prescribed requirement, keep and maintain a record of every material breach of security safeguards involving personal information under its control. This amendment clarifies the previously broad nature of the provision and acknowledges that this legislation must exist within the context of a more complex system of law.
I was actually going to ask the department to comment on those two proposed amendments and what they attempt to do, which is to provide further clarification.
Would you like to elaborate on that?
