I have a question with respect to the brief submitted by the Canadian Bar Association. On page 3, it reads as follows:
The communication of such information was previously restricted to Canadian agencies only. Again, information could be communicated to foreign bodies in relationship to any criminal offences and not just designated offences.
Why should the exchange of information be expanded to include all criminal offences whereas the communication of information in Canada pertains to only designated offences? We are therefore expanding the transfer of information to foreign countries.
