Mr. Chair, I want to move a motion based on testimony we've heard today. I think it's fairly straightforward. I move:
That the committee extend the transparency within the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces study by one additional meeting and invite the Privacy Commissioner to appear.
I think it was an error that none of us had the Office of the Privacy Commissioner on our list of witnesses. We heard today from Commissioner Maynard that some of the questions we asked would be best put to the Privacy Commissioner.
We know that members of the Canadian Armed Forces often have to ATIP their own medical files and that falls under privacy, as does some of the other information that has been requested from the Canadian Armed Forces and the Department of National Defence. I think it is incumbent upon us to request that the Privacy Commissioner appear.
