Ms. Kristine Stolarik (Director General, Pre-Border Programs Directorate, Canada Border Services Agency) at the Public Safety and National Security Committee

Thank you for the question.

Yes, we have worked with the Privacy Commissioner on a regular basis on the API/PNR file. Since 2003 we have actually engaged them on the API/PNR files that we have been working on.

I do have with me Ms. Sharon McKeen, who is the file expert on API/PNR. She has worked closely with the Privacy Commissioner's office since her tenure in that file. She can also give you a bit of a chronology on how often we have consulted, and walk you through that scenario.

Sharon.
