Mr. Chair, thank you very much.
Thank you, both, for being here today and providing your insights and expertise. I want to take the opportunity of your presence to ask a fairly general question for the benefit of the committee and the benefit of Canadians.
Both of you have professional engagements on both sides of the border. You understand Canada and the U.S. very well. Could you outline for the committee the differences that you see in the way that Canadians and Americans think about the issue of privacy? Feel free to be anecdotal in your answer or as general as you wish. I think it might be helpful for the committee to see if there are any fundamental differences in how the public reacts to privacy legislation, to the collection of data, all in the context of a very tight, intermeshed relationship on the leisure, education, and business side.
Ms. Bhandari, perhaps I could get you to start, and then I'd like to hear from Mr. Wong as well.
