It is clear, Minister, that this bill takes us into the 21st century. I quite agree that references to telegrams and telexes should be deleted. I think we will need to update the Criminal Code. When we studied Bill C-27, several judges agreed that this bill was timely and said they hoped it would be passed quickly. We will try to do that.
I would like to talk about identity theft. The year 2010 will soon be upon us. As you know, the Olympic Games will be held in Vancouver in 2010. We live in a highly inter-connected world. Has draft legislation of this nature been discussed with US authorities with whom we have close ties, or perhaps with the Europeans, with Interpol? Have some preparations already been made? Today, someone's credit card or passport can be stolen in France or in Great Britain and used anywhere in the world. Is the global community prepared for this type of legislation?
