There is a fundamental difference between Canadians as consumers making an informed choice to share data in exchange for a perceived benefit or convenience, and the state mandating that information they have to give to the state can be shared with other parties with relatively little control by individuals. It's a bit of a different thing.
There's also an increasingly blurred boundary between public and private. We know that the state is interested in using information that's publicly available but not necessarily shared for the purposes that individuals would have expected it to be used by the state. This is something we're concerned about in a more general way.
