I think it's clause 2 of the legislation that creates the authority for CBSA and public officials to collect data. It's framed in a permissive way—the legislation says that XYZ official may collect information. We had testimony from the regulators themselves who said this is the way it's typically done in the Department of Justice. The permissive environment is created, and then through regulation precision is restored regarding how the information is collected.
Would you say that this discretionary authority gives rise to concerns that an officer may or may not decide to collect the data, or would the officer be ultimately so confined by regulation that there is very little discretion?
