Thank you very much.

Thanks to all the witnesses for being here.

My first question is actually for both of you. Currently in Bill C-59 there's no necessity threshold to retain personal information that is disclosed under SCISA. I'm just wondering if you think that an amendment introducing a necessity threshold for the retention of personal information as well as a destruction obligation for information that does not meet the necessity threshold would be helpful to increase transparency and also to protect individuals' privacy.

Maybe I'll first turn to the Canadian Muslim Lawyers Association.
