I think limits on access are an important tool. I think they don't fully address the retention question, because, as I mentioned, there can be privacy harms when data and information about individuals is retained essentially indefinitely for potential future law enforcement needs decades down the road. But I think limits on access are crucial, and particularly any limit that the Canadian government might negotiate with the U.S. government with regard to how information is shared within the U.S. government or even shared outside of government agencies, so with members of the public, for example.
