I'd like to raise a point of order, Mr. Chair.
I see at my place a letter from the Privacy Commissioner setting out some viewpoints about the clauses that we're studying today. However, I noted that the Privacy Commissioner is not appearing. I would make two comments. One is that if an invited witness seriously wants their views considered, they ought to be here to answer questions and to defend their viewpoints. The other is I would point out that the Privacy Commissioner is an officer of this Parliament and I'd like to know the circumstances behind his failure to appear, because it seems to me to be a disrespect to the committee, at the very least, that he's failing to be here.
