You hit on a very important point there, honourable member. One of the bases of not only the Privacy Act but generally fair information principles is that the information about an individual has to be accurate. That individual, in democratic societies, has to have the right to have that information corrected. That's in fact a large part of what our office does.
What we see here are very particular cases of inaccurate personal information, unverified—and this is from the Iacobucci report and I believe the Arar report—being shared in a rather informal fashion. Again, it's not consistent with fair information principles about a very strict definition of the use to which you put personal information and accountability for the use of that personal information subsequently put.
This is one of the reasons that I think Privacy Act reform—Privacy Act applies to all the government agencies—is so important to give citizens a broader right to complain about inaccuracy of their personal information and, if the information is not corrected, to take it on to Federal Court. Right now, they don't have that right. It's a very truncated right. If they had had this kind of right, some of these cases may in fact have taken another turn of events.
