Thank you, Chair. Before I forget, I would like a recorded vote on NDP-24, please.
I would just like to reiterate the following points.
Not only do I want to stress how disappointed I am with the rejection of the amendment and subamendment that my colleague from the Green Party and I have proposed, but I would also like to share my bewilderment about the rigidity of the definition. We are repeatedly being reassured that there is an intention behind the use of the data and the powers that we want to grant, but in what I heard about publicly available information, nothing in the definition I am proposing is contradicted by the testimony of the officials from the CSE or by what my Liberal colleagues want to see in their bill.
I leave the question open to Canadians. They are the ones who will have to put the question to the government and us, of course. If the purpose of the powers granted under clause 24 of part 3 of the bill is to do research, analyses and studies on Canada's information infrastructure, I cannot comprehend why we could not ensure that we have the most robust definition possible to protect Canadians' privacy.
