Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to all our witnesses for being with us today.
My first questions are going to go to Professor Scassa.
Federal privacy laws really have not been substantially amended since their enactment. The Privacy Commissioner of Canada noted, in a joint statement with his provincial and territorial counterparts, that our current laws do not provide an appropriate level of protection to Canadians with regard to their privacy, given the digital environment. He actually mentioned it again today during the first panel in this meeting.
Do you agree with the joint statement and the principles it contains?
