Or even if I suspect: any private citizen can do that. Because I'm not subject to PIPEDA. I'm not an organization subject to privacy legislation, and I don't have a contractual relationship with the people in that room who say, “I will keep your information private.” What you're talking about, on the other hand.... Also, if I call 911, that's at my own volition. That's me deciding to do so, and actually, the law doesn't compel me to; I can perversely stand there and watch it happen. But that's neither here nor there.
When it comes to law enforcement knocking on the door of an organization that's subject to privacy legislation and asking them to hand over information voluntarily, they have to ask themselves: “Can I do this? Can I do this under my terms of agreement with my customer? Can I do this under the telecommunications legislation? Can I do this under privacy legislation?”
If everybody in this room has a problem with privacy legislation and a problem with that scenario, then debate it and deal with it in the privacy legislation, rather than in something that we're being told is just restating the status quo but in fact changes the status quo with these sorts of things.
