Well, he says that the department “is concerned that providing the recordings to the Committee would put it in breach of the Privacy Act and liable to proceedings being brought against it under this Act”.
As I understand it, he says that since there is no danger of proceedings being brought against us under this act, therefore we shouldn't be concerned. As I understand it--I'll turn to my colleague from the Department of Justice--the Government of Canada's obligation to respect the Privacy Act is sort of an absolute obligation. It's not material to us whether there would be liability proceedings against us.
