Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Again, I'm attempting to put measures in place in response to the letter from the Privacy Commissioner.
My amendment number 9—which I have great hopes for despite the rapid defeat of the previous eight—is based on the Privacy Commissioner's advice that:
Bill C-51 should be amended to include an explicit requirement for written information agreements. More detailed elements of what should be in the agreements could be set out in Regulations. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner should be consulted in the development of these agreements.
This amendment adds to the powers of the Governor in Council under clause 10 that the Governor in Council could require information sharing agreements be developed with the Privacy Commissioner to follow current best practices for the sharing, retention, and disposal of information.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
