Thank you, Madame Chair.

My first question is for Mr. Bryant.

You raised the GDPR and the CCPA earlier, which I think are two very important pieces of global best practice with regard to data. Article 20 of the GDPR speaks to the right of data portability, and the CCPA allows people to request that their data be deleted or to opt out of the selling of their data.

With that being best practice, would it be beneficial to Canadians to have that type of a data ownership regime, for lack of a better term, ported into law in Canada?
