Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses, as well.
Mr. Dufresne, the Liberals' new privacy bill was introduced 18 months ago, but it sat on the shelf for a year before they brought it to the House for debate. If I understood correctly, you didn't have an opportunity to comment on the bill in your capacity as privacy commissioner, since you took office when the bill was introduced. Your office did, nevertheless, have a chance to provide feedback on the bill.
Today, you told us that you made 15 recommendations. The minister proposed eight amendments, which you are no more privy to than we are. Here we are, asking you questions about a version of the bill that is by no means the last.
As the committee's proceedings continue over the next few months, do you expect to be able to give us your view on future iterations of the bill containing the Liberals' amendments? Knowing your opinion of the bill would help us in our assessment, especially since this is clearly not the final version.
On top of that, what do you make of the fact that the minister acted on only half of your recommendations? He accepted only four or five of the 15 you made. Why do you think he didn't accept more of them?
