Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I am going to support my colleague's amendment, by putting a lot of water in my wine.
That being said, I completely disagree: his amendment will not achieve the same objectives as Ms. May's amendment or mine. Clearly, since our amendments were rejected, we will have to make do with his today, which is better than nothing.
I would just like to draw your attention once again to Ms. May's argument, which I find extremely important. These issues are subject to many disputes in Canada and around the world. Reasonable privacy expectations have evolved tremendously, particularly in recent months.
When we draft a bill and propose amendments, I think we must bear in mind the possibility that the validity of any given definition may be challenged, especially in a rapidly changing context. That's what we have heard from many witnesses. The wording of the Green Party of Canada and the NDP amendments was the one that best matched what those witnesses recommended.
Mr. Chair, I conclude by reiterating that I am going to support this amendment because I would rather have what it proposes than no protection, but I think it is inadequate in the extreme.
